Terry Shernisty, Opie and the E Street Band
16GP, .530avg, 88HR, 164rbi, 0ass, 43dp, 0psyche, 7dumb things
Shernisky blew away the home run record and 164 rbi's is pretty damn good. It's hard to argue with his stat line, but Terry's downfall could be that he abandoned his team twice half way through the week. His .530 average is also indicative of the fact that he shot almost nothing but homers. With 88 homers, you could reasonably expect to have at least 200 rbi's, but more than half were solo shots.

Nate Tomko, Queenie Mentrek
20gp, .628av, 45hr, 150rbi, 13ass, 64dp, 6psyche, 3 dumb things
Nate had one of the lowest averages in the league after the first couple weeks, and even battling injuries all season long managed to put up one hell of a stat line. He trailed only Ben Smith and Mac in average, finished 3rd in homers, 2nd in rbi's and tops in assists and double plays. His recent hot play has driven Queenie Mentrek to be the hottest team down the stretch and the team nobody wants to play in the playoffs.

PJ O'Conner, Honest Abe's Truth Brigade
22gp, .475avg, 56hr, 137rbi, 4ass, 59dp, 0psyche, 6dumb things
PJ's stat line is good enough to be in the player of the year discussion but his carefree attitude and desire to screw over his captain bring him down a bit. His stats could be so much better if he hadn't shot left handed for the 1st 3 weeks of the season. If the voting took place after the playoffs, I could see his chances increasing. If the Truth Brigade makes a run in the playoffs, it will most likely be because PJ gets serious and shows us what he can do when he wants to win.

Billy Weisberg, PJ & the Ladies
20gp, .453avg, 15hr, 97rbi, 5ass, 29dp, 0psyche, 4dumb things
Billy was an early frontrunner for the Earnest but that was while Tomko was having his slow start. His stats have faded a bit, but it's hard to argue that he's the main reason the ladies got the all important bye to the finals.
