I apologize in advance for the rushed post this week, but due to natural circumstances, I've got about ten minutes to put this puppy together. That's not including the hour or so it takes to calculate all the numbers I need to figure everything out. In week 4 Ryan Zimmerman scored a total of 51 points. Ryan Zimmerman? That's right. Zimmerman hasn't been fantasy relevant since 2013, but his best year was back in 2009. I wrote about him yesterday, and today I'm going to plagiarize myself.
"Among players with at least 40 plate appearances, Ryan Zimmerman has the best points per plate appearances (1.18). This number will vary from league to league based on its scoring system, but regardless, he’s up there. If I said I saw this coming I’d be lying. And even though I’m comfortable with lying, I still can’t say I saw this coming. If it were me I’d sell high. He’s bound to find his way onto the gloriously overused 10-day DL. But as Grey would say, I wouldn’t sell him for a used Squatty Potty and a pack of wet wipes, but I’d certainly explore my options." -malamoney
Ten people picked Zimmerman, including the winner. After Zimmerman,
Trea Turner posted 48 points. And then
Daniel Murphy and
Hernan Perez each scored 39. Seven people, including the winner, picked Turner. Twenty-one people, once again including the winner, picked Murphy. That means that the winner picked the top three players for the week. That's a perfect score. There isn't, but there should probably be a bonus for doing so. I guess winning will have to suffice. No one picked Perez.
The unanimous winner of week four was Denhusk with 138 points. Congratulations on an awesome week and welcome to the playoffs. Out of curiosity, did you happen to get your hands on a legit copy of Grays Sports Almanac?
