    *cough* Mariano Rivera *cough*
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    Alex Gordon's been a disappointment as well, although I guess you can't really count him as a big name because he's just a rookie even if he is an incredibly hyped one. Pujols has got off to a pretty bad start for him too.

    Jason Schmidt and BJ Ryan.

    Granted, both are injured...but lousy nonetheless

    Gordon is a disappointment but a rookie and couldn't really count him. I forced myself to name LaRoche as a "big name" but he did have a bust out year last season.

    Can he really be considered a "big name" though?

    Furcal's having a worse year than Pierre. I failed to mention Omar Vizquel which pisses me off. .197 and 4 RBI.

    Pierre has picked it up as of late and raised his average to .280. He also has 7 steals and 16 runs. Not too bad anymore.

    Rafael Furcal is far more deserving to be on here

    .280 looks OK, but that .631 OPS is downright ugly.

    True....that looks pretty ugly. The OBP needs to come up...and it probably will along with the average.

    In his defense, when he gets on base he scores. Hes been on base 26 times and scored 16. So the slugging percentage hasnt been much of a factor thus far due to his ability to run the bases well and steal.

    Ryan Langerhans is not a big name but his season so far is down right awful. .056, 36 AB with 15 strikeouts. No HRs and no RBIs.
