SOMEWHERE YOU DIDN'T KNOW HAD A BASEBALL TEAM -- Baseball fans around the country were startled when it was reported that two guys you've never heard of lead the majors in homeruns and wins.
The story broke early this morning, as the ESPN Fantasy Sports department finally checked their email, and found hundreds of messages pointing out what many assumed to be a glitch, such as some guy who was 8-1 with a 0.84 ERA, as well as the obvious error that some guy playing for "SDP" had been credited with a laughable 18 homers.
However, ESPN checked with a trusted team of basement dwelling stats nerds, who revealed that the numbers were indeed correct. They reported that some guy named Zach Greinke (a name you may recognnize from your fantasy team's bench from when you left autodraft on while you went to get a beer after the sixth round) is dominating opposing hitters throughout the league. Even more stunninng is the fact that he reportedly has 8 wins while playing for the Kansas City Royals, a team that most experts were pretty sure had been demoted to AAA at the end of last year.
Meanwhile, a man supposedly named Adrian Gonzalez has 18 homers, though our sources are unsure as to where he plays. We hear it's San Diego, though we were pretty sure they don't have a team, and if they do, it's in the NL West or something and nobody cares about them. Upon further investigation, it was revealed that this Gonzalez had 30 homers and 100 RBI in each of the last of the two years, which seems odd, as you'd think we'd have heard of a guy like that, or that the Yankees would have bought his entire team in order to sign him.
More news as it breaks.
