West—the west is home to the 4 teams with the lowest roster payroll available to the owners.
FatDaddy054 chose the Chicago Cubs/Chicago White Sox club. Fat has captured 22 championships in the 80s player set and has made the playoffs in about 1/3 of the seasons. The White Cubs currently have the best record in the league—Britt Burns, Floyd Bannister, Scott Sanderson and Lamar Hoyt comprise the starting rotation and the offense is led by Ryne Sandberg, Leon Durham and Greg Luzinski.

The starting staff is comprised of Pascual Perez, Eric King, Zane Smith Jack Morris and Dan Petry. The Tigers are at 6-6 after 12 games.

75 games into the season......
East
Generationm1 and his Montreal Blue Jays extended his lead to 11 games after going 14-7 for the second consecutive week.
The Jays are now 48-27 and have a league best 83 run differential. The California Dodgers (JJB92) moved into second place after going 13-8 for the week. The Dodgers are now 37-38. Baltimore/Boston, led by BurleyNorseman are 36-39 after going 9-12 during the week. The San Francisco A’s (RichardGagnon) are 13 games off the pace with a record of 35-40 after going 11-10.
Central
BRifas, leading the Cleveland Reds went 8-13 for the week and now have a record of 41-34, good for a two game lead over NewGuy1912 and his St. Kansas RoyalCardinals who went 10-11 for the week and are 39-36. The New York Mets/Yankees (Drabb9529) moved into third place tie with the HoustonMetFan's Pittsburgh Phillies with a record 36-39. THe Phillies went 9-12 for the week.
West
LM Bombers, leader of the Milwaukee Twins had an exceptional week which included a 12 game winning streak, took over the lead with a record of 42-33. The Twins went 17-4 for the week--the best week of any team thus far.
FatDaddy054 of the Chicago White Cubs who went 10-11 for the week and are now 37-38, 5 games off the pace. SeattleDiego Padre/Mariners (KaiserWill4). The Padres/Mariners (KaiserWill4) went 8-13 for the week and are now 33-42.
The Atlanta Tigers (Killermarc) went 8-13 for the week and are at 30-45.
From the notebook......
Start left handed pitchers against the following teams are your own peril......
Milwaukee Twins 16-8
Montreal Blue Jays 18-10
Start right handed pitchers against the following teams at your own peril.....
Montreal Blue Jays 30-17
Cleveland Reds 28-20
Home field advantage? These teams play the best at home
Montreal Blue Jays (a pattern is developing) 26-13
Cleveland Reds 22-14
Road Warriors----only 4 teams are over .500 with 2 of the 4 being just one game over
Montreal Blue Jays 22-14
St. Kansas Royal/Cardinals 21-18
Pittsburgh Phillies 20-19
Milwaukee Twins 17-16
Base stealing extremes
The St. Kansas Royal/Cardinals lead the league with 212 stolen bases, an average of 2.82 per game. The next closest club are the SeattleDiego Padres/Mariners with 71--an average of less than one per game.
Baltimore&Boston are in last place in stolen bases with 7. The good news is that they have only been thrown out once.
Walk about
The Cleveland Reds, San Francisco A's and Baltimore & Boston are in a close race for leading the league in walks. The Reds have walked 309 times--the A's 308 and the Baltimore &Boston club 307.
Outfielder assists....
The Padre/Mariners lead the league with 25 outfield assists while the Milwaukee Twins have just 11.
Team errors
The Atlanta Tigers have been charged with 69 errors while the California Dodgers have 35 on the other extreme.
Interesting trade activity--
The Baltimore/Boston club and the California Dodgers traded underperforming stars---Fred Lynn went from the Dodgers to the Baltimore/Boston club and Jim Rice went to Dodgers.
The Padres/Mariners and RoyalCardinals made a big trade---Steve Garvey---who lead the Padres in most hitting categories was dealt to the Cardinals for Matt Keough, Bob Forsch and Dan Meyer.
NewGuy1912 has taken an interesting approach---besides leading the league in stolen bases, NewGuy has "1" rated fields in the infield (Garvey, White, Smith, Pendleton), outfield (Willie Wilson and Willie McGee). The team has converted 81% of "X" chances into outs.
