BGB Fantasy League 2012 Week Thirteen

The scores are in from week 13 in the BaseballGB fantasy league. Which managers are looking like All Stars?

We begin with the week’s biggest winners as SWAT recorded a clean sweep against Bonestalkers. Pence homered three times and the recalled Lind had a pair while Kersgaw, Nolasco and Fiers were the pick of the pitchers. Trumbo homered three times for Bonestalkers, fellow Angel Callaspo went deep twice and Blanton pitched well, but it wasn’t enough to take a category.

My Isotopes shut out daebhid2, who failed to meet the 20 inning minimum limit, robbing themselves of two categories. McCutchen and Bautista were the pick of my hitters, while Kuroda won twice and struck out 18. Porcello won twice and Craig went deep twice for daebhid2.

Another team failing to meet the 20-inning minimum was the Bolts, who were defeated 11-1 by the Sox. CarGo and Kubel were the top Sox hitters, while four different starters picked up wins. The Miami duo of Reyes and Stanton provided speed and power, while another Marlin, Bell, had three saves.

The Riverkings have broken the 100-win barrier with a 9-2 win against the Chasers, with Austin Jackson and Wright each having great weeks. Motte, Parnell and Clippard combined for five saves. For the Chasers, Stubbs had three steals after returning from injury and the incredible RA Dickey helped Matt take strikeouts.

The Vendors didn’t reach 20 innings either, losing 9-3 to YD33s. Yadier Molina and Plouffe each homered three times and Kipnis had three steals for YD33s, while the entire pitching staff put up outstanding ERA and WHIP numbers. Rios was the top Vendor batter.

The Pirates are close to .500 after an 8-3 victory against the Anglers. Cano (four), Murphy (three) and Hamilton (three) led the home run parade, while Gordon had five steals and Balfour collected four holds. The Anglers’ pitchers salvaged three categories thanks to Gio Gonzalez and Ryan Cook.

Another 8-3 score saw the Base On Balls defeat the Angels, scoring an incredible 42 runs thanks to Ruiz, Morse, Kinsler and Desmond and clubbing 11 homers. Bumgarner and Vogelson helped take strikeouts, ERA and WHIP. The Angels edged RBIs, steals and saves thanks to Willingham, Phillips and Aceves.

The Stuff’s pitchers helped them defeat the Yankees 7-3. Latos was the star of the show, winning twice, striking out 20 and posting excellent WHIP and ERA stats. Peavy struck out 18. Pujols, Alexei Ramirez, Trout and Bruce all had nice weeks offensively. The Yankees had runs and power from Alvarez, Asdrubal Cabrera and Rasmus.

The RBIs also won 7-3, defeating the Expats. Zimmerman had a monster week with the bat, while Hill hit for the cycle for the second time this season. Soriano had three saves while Milone, Weaver and Hughes combined to take ERA. The Expats edged strikeouts and WHIP thanks to Darvish, who struck out 21.

Finally, Beck ‘Nams defeated Iron Men 7-4 thanks to a big week from a resurgent Ike Davis and the speed of Pagan and Andrus. Niese and Harrison combined to take ERA and WHIP. Iron Men had power from Ortiz, while Gallardo made the difference in strikeouts and Adams had three holds.
