Vince Visigoths making multiple moves

Matt Kemp (2 HR) and fat Ryan Howard (7 HR) out.

Dominic Brown (-15) and Chris Davis (-19) in.


Brown and Davis each cranked out 10 HR in May, while Kemp and Howard have lingered due to injuries. There is always a risk of "buying high", but the case for the momentum is strong also.

"Hard to cut those two players, but this format and Greg's large lead leave me no choice," said coach Vince. "I would be shocked if Kemp did not appear on my roster later this season."


STANDINGGS: Extra G cuz Greg has a huge lead

May wrapped up and there is no "may" about it, Greg has a large lead.

Greg leads 99-79 in the 2013 HR Contest and has made no transactions, a sign of deft drafting.

20 dingers after two months is a very large lead even for his standards this early in the season.

Looking under the top-line numbers, Greg's squad has an OPS of .909, more than 100 points better than Vince's Visigoths at .798.

Check out this graph - teams were even entering May, but Miguel Cabrera jacked 13 and others just took off for Greg:


all this, and Greg didn't even have Giancarlo Stanton produce anything while on DL.
