FSB Expert League Week 1 Review
The 2008 Fantasy Baseball Search Expert League had its share of surprises in week 1. Lets review the match ups.
Melnick And Greco 8
Fantasy Baseball Geeks 1
This was a shocker to say the least. Not that I think Melnick and Greco is bad, but a dominating win was not expected. M&G won with some surprising, but great play from Ryan Garko and Kevin Kouzmanoff. Chris young was brilliant for him and the league letting this guy slip to the 8th round for M&G might prove to be a big mistake. They also got outstanding pitching from Jered Weaver and Felix Hernandez, but the bullpen lagged behind with only 1 save.
FB Geeks had an outstanding performance from Nate McLouth and solid performances from Carlso Gomez and Carlos Lee. The rest of his offense struggled for a .275 batting average. His pitching was aweful, but his only win came in the save category taking it 3-1.
Fantasy Baseball Mafia 5
Mock Draft Central 5
This game went just as I predicted only I was thinking that MDC could sweep all the pitching categories and take stolen bases. Well, MDC did get stolen bases, but only got 4 of the 5 pitching categories losing saves to The Mafia 7-4. All the offensive categories were close, but Mafia dominated average and in the end that is what kept MDC from geting a 6-4 or even 7-3 victory. Prince Fielder, Ryan Braun, and Jeff Francoeur were outstanding for FB Mafia, while MDC had great performances from Chone Figgins, Jake Peavy and Santana.
Fantasy Baseball Search 5
Rotodoc 4
In a tightly fought contest, FBS narrowly escaped with a 5-4 in part thanks to his bullpen. Winning the saves category proved to be the deciding factor with FBS's offense struggling in week 1. I won the saves category 8-3. Rotodoc got power support from JD Drew and Jacoby Ellsbury as they helped power him the HR win 7-6! pitching on both sides was fairly good, but Ben Sheets complete game stands out for Rotodoc.
Fantasy Baseball Generals 7
Junkyard Jake 2
Dominating performance by the Generals. He did exactly what he said he'd do winning the 3 pitching categories and actually tied in wins saving him from another loss. He absolutely dominated the offensive categories only losing stolen bases and winning home runs 10-3. Junkyard Jake suffered with a terrible offensive showing in week 1. He had six players battling under .220. Chase Utley was absolutely dominating for the Generals.
Roto Authority 6
Fantasy Fanatics 2
A great week for RA. They have one of the toughest teams in the league and showed it week 1. They're offense dominated going 4-0 with 1 tie in home runs. On the pitching side he only got 2 categoires, but tied in 1 finishing 2-2. FF shows great play in power and pitching. his bullpen held its own, but in the end his starting staff , which is very strong lost it for him. We expect both teams to play much better as the season goes forward.
Stoney's Lounge 8
Baseball Geeks 2
No ties in this MAJOR upset. Stoney's team played very well and hit 14 home runs. The Geeks played well too, but just couldn't keep up with Stoney's power streak. The only categories Geeks pulled out was runs and stolen bases. Stoney dominated pitching going 5-0 with an ERA at 2.56. Both bullpens were weak in this one, but this is a weak for Stoney to celebrate.
