Botica (3-12-1)
Botica’s biggest surprise so far is a 16-13 win over one of the top teams Yagel. It’s not easy replacing Ted every game, but Lorne/Kovac are both hitting high 600s to make up for that. It looks like they are destined for the wildcard rounds but some guys on the team have the potential to surprise in the playoffs.
Witt Realty (5-9-2)
Last two wins are over Flagship and Premiere. So this team has the capability to beat anyone. Who is leading the team in hitting? Shannon, their 7th rounder at .662 and 24 RBIS. Wiggy has subbed at least 6 times for each team this year and has hit a couple over the fence this year. Their top 2 hitters, Stroll/Leclair have the ability to hit far better. Looking like they are headed for the knockout rounds too.
Panama (6-10)
Like many teams dealing with injury, Panama now has Wolfe/Dalfen full time. Justin has come out strong with a .655 BA/26RBI line so far. Very productive from their 5 slot. Ruggi/Will also hitting very well. If Looch/Nathan start clicking, look out. Wolfie provides the experience, hitting and fielding to solidify an already strong OF. Headed to the knock out rounds, but Laz pitching can win a game himself.Continental (7-11)
The record of a convenience store in the US. Bernard with 2 grand slams and 26RBIS coming out of the 10 slot. Greenspan/Friedberg/Levine all over .600 and Mechaly (injured) right there too. Ross Dufie has been a pleasant surprise with the bat replacing Shade. Most likely headed for the knockouts, but they are still playing without their #1 starter Golden. Need Small’s bat to heat up too. Hopefully back for the playoffs and then they have a chance.Emmis (7-10)
Been an up and down season for this squad. Kirk leading the charge with 15HRS and Boots picked it up with his bat. Julian has been pounding the ball too. Gord is sidelined but still providing scouting reports. They’ll need Ricky and Scotty contributing offensively too to keep up with the top teams. Most likely headed to the knock outs but will need to go on a run if they want to squeak in.
Posluns (7-11-2)
Kendel has provided huge power with 14HRS and rebounded very strongly with his bat. Rob also hitting very well. Carpman is out now and Dov/Menash are handling pitching duties. They have the most games played, and with 6 to go, they look to also be headed for the knock outs.
WIMA (8-8-1)
With a hot start, this team has cooled down a bit, and their #1 Todd Savage is out with a toe infection and should return soon. They also have some big wins over Premiere/TMTC in the last few weeks. Weiss having another hot season with the bat and has been great with the glove. Even though they are .500 and a tie, they still have a +33 run differential thanks to JD and the rest of the D. Henry with a strong sophomore season and most of the league still baffled how Bingo is still hitting over .600. They could bypass the knock outs if they get Perlis back and Itovitch turns it on with his bat.
Fortinet (9-8)
6-1 in their last 7 games, and Danny wanted me to mention they are the hottest team in DESL and trending up. 5 guys over .600, Marer/Azoulay/Shtull/Rabi/Kosow, all hitting solid and their 5 is out due to “extenuating circumstances” and will need to be replaced in the playoffs. A couple of guys still need to adjust to the mat, but Fortinet was favored to start the year and coming back strong when important, going into the playoffs. Another team fighting to get into the top 6.
Premiere (10-7)
A team trying to figure things out still and has the potential on paper to be better. Rod having a great year with the bat hitting over .700 with 9HRS and 54 RBIs. Kiki/Jimmy/Vic/Fox all performing as expected. A +38 run differential, so the pitching/D are performing well and the hitting is keeping up. This team will need Kosta/Airey to turn it on in the playoffs to go far. Fighting to stay in the top 6.
Del Friscos (10-7-1)
Reinblatt is a force on this team, and proving he’s more than adapted to the mat. Jer playing top CF D and Flash hitting a nice .636 and 26 RBIS. A couple of their bigger bats still have yet to shine, JR/Perly/F but when they do, they should get even better. Doing well the second half of the season. Team gets extra points for playing well while inhaling JR’s cigarettes. Good chance to stay top 6.
TMTC (11-8)
Another year, another year of injuries although they got their rookie Danny now back. Ludmer looks to be out for the season. Lipko showing why he was the #1 overall pick hitting .745 with 7HRS and a very reliable SS. Adam hitting .700 with extreme speed and holding down the CF. Another surprise is Michael Lipko doing very well defensively and hitting .500 with occasional pop. Rockman still on the DL so we won’t know the full lineup until the playoffs. Rockman knows how to pick the spares, so they should stay top 6.
Yagel Bagel (11-6-1)
Proving they were meant to stay at the top, Yagel is still near the top. Ben/Dino having monster seasons with the bat. Ben with an almost .800 OBP has some of the best numbers for the 2 slot. Rookie KP is outperforming as well. Roter already has 4HRS. Jay adjusted extremely well to the mat. Naggy/Ben have captained this team better than expected. This is a well rounded team, and will finish top 6 and they’ll have to see who they face after the elimination rounds.
Physiomentum (11-5-1)
Only a +1 run differential yet they are 11-5-1. Blittakis has offered input on positioning, hitting, and almost everything else. Are they enough to carry this team? Probably not, but Prince/GUI are hitting machines and taking care of most of the hitting. Martel has come through with his bat too, now taking over the cleanup spot. Another surprise, Taras, hitting over .500 and hitting with pop too. If some of their other bats start getting hot, Rothstein/Mario/Bobby, they can score even more. They’ll finish top 6, but they’ll need more than a couple of the bats going to go far.
Flagship (12-5-1)
As predicted, they are on top. Boxer/Sheres/Kruger/Desmarais are a very scary and power hitting top 4 and all over .600. Still some holes on D, with a +13 run differential. They have the tools to win it all, but they are beatable. Would not be surprised if they go all the way but guys like Rakesh/Sobol/Michaud will need to turn it up come playoffs. The only way to win in the playoffs is when the bottom comes through, and that will be the key for this team that will finish in the top but wait for who they face after.
