What looked to be a mano a mano duel between Adam Ronis and Rudy Gamble, is suddenly the story of a frontrunner being chased by three, yes three, teams.
To be sure, Ronis has enough of a lead that if he can maintain his point total a lot else has to go wrong for anyone to catch him. But now, instead of one team in his taillights he has three.
Ronis also has three and a half points, in steals, wins and WHIP, that could easily be lost. Were he to fall to 105, Gamble, Albright or the surprising (how did he get here) Perry Van Hook could catch him.
Van Hook has gained 7 points this week already, and could add perhaps three more with a perfect day. In one category, stolen bases, he and Ronis are tied.
You can hop over to onRoto and game out all the possibilities. There are a lot of them, if Ronis has a bad day.
In other news, it’s pretty safe to call the NL race for Mike Gianella, the AL race for Chris Liss, and the Mixed Auction race for Fred Zinkie. Congratulations to all three.
