Fantasy Players of the Week

This past week was a very exciting week for Cubs fans everywhere. Like I mentioned in my previous post, the Cubs seem to be hitting their stride right now and I don't think the Brewers can keep this up all year. However, this past week was a great week for some Brewers players as well; which is why they have swept the fantasy players of the week for this week.

Position Players of the Week - J.J. Hardy & Prince Fielder, Milwaukee Brewers
These two both had tremendous weeks this week, helping the Brewers win 6 of 7 and hold steady their 5-game lead over the Cubs in the NL Central. Hardy hit .536 this past week with 2 HR's and 9 RBI's. His 15 hits during the week led the entire league. Fielder, Hardy's partner in crime, hit .440 over the past 7 days with 4 HR's (including 2 on Sunday) and 12 RBI's.

Pitcher of the Week - Jeff Suppan, Milwaukee Brewers
It's alwasy an advantage in fantasy for a pitcher to get two starts during a one week span. What's even better is when they take advantage of those starts. In his first start of the week on 4/30, he threw a complete game against the Cardinals scattering 8 hits while only giving up one earned run. His second outing didn't last as long, only 5.2 innings, but he only gave up 2 runs while giving up 8 hits again. His final stats for the week were: 2 wins, 1 complete game, a 1.84 ERA and 10 strikeouts.

So there it is. The first complete sweep of fantasy players of the week on this site. Let's see if some Cubs can do this next week.
