- I am first in 4 out of 5 offensive categories
- Despite being first in home runs and average, I am third to last and pretty far behind in RBIs
- I am last or second to last in 4 out of 5 pitching categories
- Despite being last last in ERA, WHIP, and second to last in K's, I am first in wins

My strange season
I'd just like to point out the following about my team right now:

Wins are BS. Too bad there isn't a better all-or-none stat for pitchers that could be used on a game by game basis. There is the "quality start" stat, but I don't know if that can be used in roto.
1. RBIwise, you're unlucky, but you also have a fair number of leadoff guys. Between Ichiro, Pierre, and Austin Jackson, you have a lot of no power, low RBI guys. Also, a lot of your home runs have come from feast or famine type guys, such as Branyan and Pena (although not a full season of both). I have no idea how Youkilis only has 38 RBI vs 49 R.
2. Don't worry Spencer, your pitching is, in fact, terrible. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, wins are the worst 5x5 pitching category, except for all the other ones we could use instead. QS are terrible too, because it almost rewards pitchers who don't go deep into games. 3 ER in 6 IP yields you a QS, but 4 ER in 8 IP (an IDENTICAL ERA), doesn't.
