IYFBL - PLAYERS OF THE MONTH - April

[Mets GM]

AL Hitter of the month - April

Wes Helms - Blue Jays
The B-J's ended April with the most runs scored in the IYFBL, and Helms was a big part of that. He leads the AL in AVG (.437) OBP (.496) Hits (45) RBI (29) & TRIPLES? (3)...also ranked 2nd in Runs (27) & SLG (.748)


NL Hitter of the month - April

Adam Lind - Padres
A big part of the Padres hot start, Lind leads the NL in AVG (.457) OBP (.528) Hits (43) RBI (32) & also ranks in the top 10 in SLG, 2B, X-tra base hits, IBB, and despite a FR rating in the OF, he has made 0 errors thus far.

AL Pitcher of the month - April

Jeremy Sowers - ChiSox
In a very close race, Sowers beats out Webb and others with a league leading 1.62 ERA, .197 BAA, 0.87 WHIP. Despite a 2-1 record, Sowers has QS in all 5 games pitched, which includes a complete game shut out. Now if the White Sox can give him some run support, he could be a Cy Candidate.

NL Pitcher of the month - April

Roy Halladay - Padres; Justin Verlander - Cardinals
In perhaps the toughest call of the awards, Halladay has anchored the 1st place Padres with a perfect 6-0 start, with all 6 being QS, which includes a complete game Shut out, and a 1.00 ERA.
Not to be outdone, Verlander has yeilded only 3 ER in 35 innings, good for a 0.77 ERA, but only a 3-0 record to show (must be the 5 unearned runs). Opponents are hitting .198 off him, and he has an impressive 0.97 WHIP thru April.


Congrats to Aprils winners.

Don't worry I can't explain Wes Helms either

[Mets GM]

You just better pray he keeps it up, cause there's only 5 teams that have given up more runs than you, and eventually that will catch up.

well considering i have miguel batista #3, and two guys with like 20 innings worth the projection as my #4 and #5 in Mark Redman and Jake Woods I'm pretty happy
