Weekly matchup updates

Something new that I want to incorporate this season is biweekly matchup updates. My plan is to have an update going into the matchup, a mid week update, and a final update each week.

Since I have already neglected the update leading up to week one, I thought that I would just skip ahead to the mid week update. So here it goes.

Midweek Update:
Jim's Beaners is the opponent this week. So far this has been an interesting matchup. I hate going up against any team that has Albert Pujols and Jim has him once again. Pujols went off the first day, hitting two dingers and my team has been playing catch up ever sense. Hopefully he won't do any further damage any time soon.

The pitching and hitting matchup is pretty even so far (minus the save category). I never take much out of week one because the majority of my draft consists of players that aren't in the show yet (ie Strasburgh, Stanton, and Bumgarner). My reserve players have been going off and I can't wait to incorporate them into my lineup next week. Bowker, Hairston, and Robertson so far have been nice picks and will be activated for next week.

On the injury front, it didn't take long for Gervacio to land on the DL. Meyer should be a decent replacement option and if Nunez keeps blowing saves, he could find himself in that role soon.

Outcome:
I am hoping to pull a 6 to 6 tie this week.
