Week 2 in the books. Everyone is hot on Mooch's heels, who is riding the wave from his 10-2 week 1 thrashing over Ryan. A narrow defeat (7-5) was had this week over Dave, who has retreated to the bottom of the Armchair league standings, ready to make his resurgent comeback to the holy land of playoff contention. Last year's last place finish left an insatiable thirst that he will attempt to quench without mercy.
Mooch, however, is picking up right where he left off. The defending champion has swept all offensive categories up until this point, except for SB. Dave was fortunate enough to nip him 5-4 in that category last week. It may come as no surprise that SB was the category that ruined a couple of perfect offensive weeks for Mooch, since it is quite noticeably his weakest offensive category. Extrapolating out the rest of the season (with the players he has starting today) he'll have only 73 more predicted SBs the rest of the year. Only Goose's Flock is predicted to have fewer swipes, with 53. However, Mooch should be in good shape since he's got a bench full of regular base-swipers with Ben Revere, Alexei Ramirez, and Kolten Wong.
Moral of the story: If you think you found a weakness with Mooch, he's already found a way to fix it.
Here are the ROS projections (make sure you're on the W2IR tab):
