The interesting thing about fantasy Tigers is that even though you want the Tigers to win and every player to do well, you definitely want your own guys to be getting counting stats, and you cheer extra for your own guys! Look at the ever-so-slight difference in team batting average this week! Every hit matters! The original fantasy draft (in order) can be seen here. Keep in mind that farm teams (marked with “2” after the owner’s name) have their overall stats (in the “total” line) reduced by 10%. Also, pitchers’ innings pitched are not notated like regular stat sheets.
Here are the most recent totals for our teams:
| Name | AVG | R | HR | RBI | SB | Hitters | IP | W | K | WHIP | ERA | Pitchers | Total |
