Week one is over. Evan Longoria is No. 1 in the game right now, Emilio is No. 2, and Josh Johnson is the best pitcher right now. With plenty of surprises at the top of the boards and plenty of season left to play let's dive into the league and its activities this week.

Here are the standings after week one:

1.   Leftfield Lunatics 8-2-0          
2.   End of the Dugout 7-2-1          
3.   Brooklyn Bashers 5-4-1          
4.   RIP Harry Kalas 5-4-1          
5.   Pothead Penguins 5-4-1          
6.   A's 4-4-2          
7.   Civardi's BALCO Boys 4-4-2          
8.   The LOUsers 4-5-1          
9.   Machete Squad 4-5-1          
10.   MetAL MuLiSHa 4-5-1          
11.   Sons of Cuyahoga 2-7-1          
12.   LB's Maniaxs 2-8-0          

 

Some of the other managers have given their perspectives on week one. End of Dugout and Leftfield Lunatics have written articles already. Here is a team by team look of the league.

As you can see, Leftfield Lunatics has jumped to the top of the standings after week one. Three teams are tied for third.

One thing to make mention of, Undefeated in 6 OTs has changed there name to RIP Harry Kalas. What better tribute then to name your team after a fallen favorite.

Leftfield Lunatics rise to the top can be attributed to Evan Longoria and his pick up of Emilio Bonaficio. He also has the number four hitter in Alfonso Soriano.

Now that we have done a quick recap, let's take a look at the moves and deals of the past week.
