It's hard not to vote for Hanley the way he has busted out of his slump. Two multi-homer games is rather impressive.

Yeah, Hanley busted out of his slump but Cody Ross busted the Marlins out of theirs. That HR was exactly what this team needed.

Cantu has been on fire.

This is one of the rare close polls for Fish of the Week thus far.

here's my case against Cantu. He hit 2 of his HRs in a game that was for all intents and purposes meaningless (a 12-3 shalacking against) and he committed errors that almost cost the team a game the next night.

 

Cody, Tucker, Nelson, and Uggla are much better candidates than Cantu imo

 

but I went with Hanley. Welcome back to Earth, Hanley!

 

 

btw, I feel that (and in most cases it will be on there anyway) the regining Fish of the Week should be on the list to defend his "title" the following week, even if he should have a poor week. Just a thought for the future.

I voted for Cody just because .

Why is Cantu's batting average listed as higher than his OBP?

 

I voted for Hanley. Jorge would have probably been my second choice with Olsen being the third. I can't see Tucker even getting a vote, he only had one start. It was a good debut, but when you look at it he went 5 innings and its fish of the week, not fish of the day.

Why is Cantu's batting average listed as higher than his OBP?

 

That's what the stats for the past week show.

Hanley.

Why is Cantu's batting average listed as higher than his OBP?

 

That's what the stats for the past week show.

 

I believe this is because sac-flies count against OBP while they don't count against batting average.

Ok, let's break this down.

 

Uggla had the best stats of the week (.455 /.536/.909).

 

Hanley broke out of his slump, and seems to be back.

 

Cody broke US out of our slump and singlehandedly won one of the most exciting games in my memory.

 

So that has to be the three in contention (Not sure why Cantu is getting more votes than Uggla).

 

I need more time to think about this.

Why is Cantu's batting average listed as higher than his OBP?

 

That's what the stats for the past week show.

 

I believe this is because sac-flies count against OBP while they don't count against batting average.

Yep, that's it. He had two sac flies, and no walks or HBP to counteract it.

 

So his BA ended up 11/27 and his OBP ended up 11/(27+2).

Cody Ross

That HR was just really big for the team.

I'll leave this open a little longer.

Hanley Ramirez is the Fish of the Week
