Rob LaColla takes the top spot in our second update, with Will Rice and Jim Kushner trailing only in the HBP column. The majority of our entrants received bumps this week from Miguel Cabrera’s BA lead and/or Justin Verlander’s Astro-aided 1.55 ERA. Shout out to Joe Maissel for his prescient Carlos Gómez pick for NL BA!

Two unfortunate injuries merit mentioning: Cardinals closer Jason Motte and White Sox pitcher Gavin Floyd both required season-ending ligament replacement surgeries this week. Eight other players chosen by our entrants are temporary residents of the DL.

For those of you keeping score at home, please correct the grid we sent out at the beginning of the season to show Mark Watzke’s NL R pick as Ryan Braun. Sorry about that! Oh, and if your name appears in red below, you haven’t paid your $20 entry fee…
