Studs and Duds For Week 1 Of The Season GURU Style!

OK, its only one week, but lets see some of the guys that really stood out after today.


STUDS

Kerry Wood - I think he was a stud because not only was he a somewhat surprise closer, but he came back strong after a bad start. 3 saves, a 1.00 WHIP, and 4K in 4 innings. Erase the one none save 3 run inning and he looks incredible.

Chone Figgins - You'll hear his name allot this year from me. Batting over .400 with 3 SBs, and 4 runs.

Chipper Jones - Great Start for this veteran player. A .400 batting average, 7 RBI, and a homerun to tote.

Jeremy Accardo - Great start for this stellar closer. 0.00 ERA and three saves in the week.

Xavier Nady - Try 3 home runs, 9 RBI, and a.384 batting average. I don't know how long it will last, but get him while he's hot.

J.D. Drew - A surprise start for Drew. He's got 2 Home runs, 4 RBI, and a .375 average in only 16 at bats.

Nate McLouth- This guy has had an amazing start to the season. He has 11 hits, .440 average, 4 RBI, 3 runs, and 2 SB. Roto leagues are loving him.

Rick Ankiel - This guy is proving how good he really is with every swing. In his first 27 at bats he has 3 home runs, 6 RBI, and 5 runs.

Chris Young - How this guy fell to the 8th round I do not know. Try 4 Home runs, 6 RBI, and 9 runs. Toss in 2 SBs and the .240 batting average doesn't look so bad.

Johnny Cueto - 7 innings, 1.28 ERA and 10Ks. Nice...

DUDS


Adam Dunn - .145 batting average and 2 RBI. Worthless so for and not a favorite at all of The True GURU.

Matt Holiday - .192 and 2 home runs isn't what a #1 draft pick should be doing at this point. We all know he will improve.

C.C. Sabathia - A nightmare start for the Cy Young winner. 7.60 ERA and a WHIP at 1.78. He does have 9Ks in 10 innings, but ZERO wins.

Jose Reyes - Only 5 hits, and no stolen bases. Making Figgins look really good right now.

Jose Valverde - Started very slow. He did collect a save and a win, but blew a 3-run save and has a ERA to high to speak of.

Hunter Pence - Allot of guys have big dreams for this young man, but he has started very slow. Batting .171 with little production.

Edwin Encarnacion - Miserable start for this guy. .125 batting average with 1 home run and 3 RBI. Not the start we were expecting.


Those are your studs and duds for week 1 in this 2008 MLB season.
