Batting average
Although I was joking in my last post, batting average is still more volitile that I would have expected. In the last week by team has added 4 points of average, making it possible (although still not particularly likely) for me to catch some of the folks ahead of me. Dustin Pedroia, Nick Markakis, Bobby Abreu, and Billy Butler are all hitting .400, or just about. Out of curiousity, I took a look at the AB and H totals for my team. Even at this stage of the season, a monster day (20/40) can raise a teams average by .002, and a really hot stretch (10/10) can raise it by a point. Hard to believe after almost 6,000 at bats that is the case, but average still will move up and down. Of course, it is easier to bump your average up than it is to drive it down, but batting average might end up being an interesting category after all.

Yeah I don't know exactly, but I believe I was ahead of Caleb by .002 or .003 on Monday, and now we're tied.
That's what happens when my players finally start hitting for average (or it's that the guys who were sucking down my average aren't starting anymore).
