With a little over two months to go, the fight for first appears to be between the Gimps and Chris Liss. Going into today's standings Chris has a 5 point lead on the Gimps, and has a solid pitching position. His offense has begun to struggle a bit of late, and I'm sure he is eager to see Justin Morneau return to the field. 

The Gimps gambled on Tillman and Rzepcynski last period, only to see both go up in flames. Ben Sheets also went down after Jake Peavy, leaving the Gimp staff in disarray. The Liss owned Derek Jeter inside the park homer through David Dejesus's face also brought lots of frowns to Gimpville. 

Peter Kreutzer has had a solid grasp on third for much of the season, but will be hard pressed to gain 15 points in the remaining time given his last place batting average and punting of steals. 

Andrew Wiggins, currently in 4th, is the dark horse of the field, looking to make a big surge in stolen bases with recent additions. He was the owner of Dan Haren, recently traded to the AL. If he gets lucky on Oswalt too, his team could be a sudden contender.
