Greater Chicago Strat League Newsletter

May 9, 2012

 

 

Season is 25% completed. Sixteen of the twenty teams have records of 20-22 or better and playoff hopes. The trade wires have been still, only one trade (Cal-Srd) in the last month, possibly because so many teams around .500.

 

Tombstone, California and Nimrod look like the early teams to beat, each posting plus .600 winning percentages.

 

Alex Gonzalez leads in batting average (.368), doubles (20) and hits (64 tied with Reyes). His leadership hasn’t helped fellow VRN teammate Mark Reynolds who has been rung up 61 times. Mark complains that he has drawn CJ Buckner behind the plate way too often.

 

Brett Gardner leads with 23 steals, pacing ahead of his real life Yankee total of 49 swipes. Lance Berkman currently has a 22 game hitting streak, longest this year.

 

Jered Weaver leads pitchers with 8 wins; Jeremy Guthrie is second with 7 victories. Jose Valverde notched 14 saves thus far.

 

Next month starts intradivisional play; so the congestion in middle division standings should start to breakup.

 

Good Luck!
