Click through for the rest of the best and worst of week 3...


Top Performers




Interesting Notes:
  • Big week for superstars, as all of the top 5 names 6 of the total top performers are keepers.
  • In every week this season one player has gotten double digit RBIs, this week it was Red Sox first baseman Mike Napoli (Johnson and Fielder are the other 2).
  • With Napoli, Bailey, and Ellsbury, the Sox have 3 more top performers, that makes 5 on the year.
  • Players from Russ and John's teams make up 60% of this list, yet their combined record last week was just 11-9.
  • This is Jacoby Ellsbury's second time as a top performer, he ranked 7th in week 1.
  •  John and Russ now have the most top performers with 5 each this season, John has had at least one every week.
  • Perka and Pflanz are the only managers without a TP so far.



Scapegoats



Interesting Notes:

  • Only 2 keepers have been scapegoats this season, both have been on Andy's team (Hamels and Hamilton)
  • This is the second straight week on this list for Mike Moustakas, hitting a combined 4/36 (.111), with just 1 run and 1 RBI.
  • Dan is the only manager without any scapegoats this year
  • Andy leads all managers with 6 through the first threeweeks

    1. Dodgers, they essentialy became the 2012 Red Sox West Version, a ton of money to a bunch of guys who really don't care if they win
