I'd take a guess that some of the best teams in an average league are clinching their playoff spots. For the rest of us in the battle still, here's who looked good last week.
Catcher: Alex Avila, 5 runs, 8 hits, 3 HR, 6 RBI, 0 SB, .471 average, .526 on base
First Base: Prince Fielder, 9 runs, 10 hits, 2 HR, 9 RBI, 0 SB, .455 average, .552 on base
Second Base: Jason Kipnis, 7 runs, 9 hits, 4 HR, 6 RBI, 2 SB, .321 average, .406 on base
Third Base: Casey McGehee, 6 runs, 8 hits, 3 HR, 7 RBI, 0 SB, .348 average, .375 on base
Shortstop: Starlin Castro, 10 runs, 17 hits, 2 HR, 7 RBI, 1 SB, .515 average, .543 on base
Outfield: Matt Holliday, 8 runs, 10 hits, 4 HR, 10 RBI, 1 SB, .400 average, .545 on base
Utility: Dan Uggla, 7 runs, 11 hits, 4 HR, 8 RBI, 0 SB, .423 average, .423 on base
Starter1: Ricky Romero, 16 IP, 2 wins, 12 K, 1.69 ERA, 0.56 WHIP
Starter2: Ervin Santana, 17.1 IP, 2 wins, 14 K, 1.04 ERA, 1.04 WHIP
Reliever: Carlos Marmol, 4 IP, 4 saves, 5 K, 0 holds, 0.00 ERA, 0.25 WHIP
My views on hockey and soccer primarily, without any of the advantage of big-name insider connections.
