Daltry/Lovejoy lead the pack in our first full update of the 2014 MLB season, thanks to Troy Tulowitzki’s slim BA lead over teammate Charlie Blackmon. John Agnello trails by just two HBPs with Jim Kushner in third. Daltry/Lovejoy and Agnello are the only entrants with more than one correct pick…

Why so low? With most teams short of thirty games played, it’s a bit soon for meaningful stat analysis. However, early injuries to Clayton Kershaw (who represents over 40% of our NL pitching picks) and Yu Darvish (18.3% of ALpicks) have clearly hurt our numbers. In fact, no less than ten players picked for at least one category currently reside on the disabled list, with an additional two out for the entire season (Matt Moore and Iván Nova). On the bright side, Kershaw is penciled in for a Monday start against the Nats. And if you’re wondering about Miguel Cabrera, he’s 13-for-31 in his last seven games.

If your name appears in redbelow, you haven’t paid your $20 entry fee to Dan or Jud. Unpaid entrants will still be listed in future updates, but their scores will not appear until their fee is paid.

Updates will usually be sent out on Fridays this year. See you next week!
