Here are my top 5, and apologies if I have left out some other worthy candidates:</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">1. Jorge Polanco ($1) - Lubeasts: 9-25-1 .384. Thus far one of the best hitters in the league!</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">2. Ben Rice ($2) - Brats: 8-13-2 .266. How did we all overlook this guy?</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">3. Aroldis Chapman ($3) -- Buddha: 11 innings, 17 Ks, 4.5 Sv/H, and great ERA/Ratio. See comment on Ben Rice.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">4. Kyle Manzardo ($1): 8-19-0 .220. Low BA, so below Polanco and Rice, but the power is real so far and he is hitting clean-up.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">5. Luke Weaver ($1) - Brats: The new closer on a team that will generate lots of saves and the former closer seems out of sorts. Smart buy!</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Comments of course welcome.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Mark</div></div>
