Winners and Losers: Week 1 Recap
Winners
Face took control in the East with a perfect week. He’s one of only two franchises to be perfect in Week 1….The North’s results in the first week were lackluster at best, so Don Mattingly seized the moment and jumped out to an early lead. There’s $800 between him and four other franchises….Newcomer Patrick Bateman was the biggest surprise in Week 1. He went 5-for-5 for a perfect $500 start to lead the South. It’s all downhill from here….And in the West, The Notorious ABT is out in front, continuing on last year’s successful campaign.
Losers
In the East, Abe Froman is bringing up the rear, but could easily turn things around with a solid Week 2….The North’s cellar is filled with ghosts of FMFL past: Blossom Russo, Karl Farbman, Kiko Garcia, and Larisa Oleynik all went winless in Week 1….Judge Smails got his feet wet last week but wasn’t as successful as the other expansion franchises. He joins Kimmy Gibbler in last place in the South….Mr. Marbles is another historically solid franchise off to a tough start in 2016.
