Here are the results from week 16, followed by a recipe for Beer-Spring Onion Mustard.

Hits

With 3 HRs and 7 RBIs, Jason Werth continued to produce for your team outta the break. 7 Runs was also enough to help you win your matchup, and had a stolen base to boot.

Double I, Hunter had a great week of his own matching Werth’s 3 Dingers and 7 runs scored. He did it all with 9 hits.

Eventhough McLouth batted over .300 for the week, he didn’t do much with his 7 hits. Sure he got you a couple of two baggers and scored twice, but the rest of his line was a bunch of zeros. I wouldn’t say that helped.

Alex Rios had one less hit than McLouth and stole 2, but because he had more ABs, his average was just around the same as the previous mentioned jennings. Bottom line, he didn’t help you enough to take up a RF spot for your team.

Misses

Desmond Jennings looked poised for a strong second half, but he had a weak week. Only 5 hits and a RBI won’t cut it for your although the SB was nice.

Hunter Pence had a good week with 13 hits in 27 ABs, he didn’t score or drive in many runs, but that average was enough to help your team.

Push

He turned in a dominant outing but did not factor in the decision Sunday afternoon against the Royals. Hector Santiago yielded two runs on five hits and four walks while striking out seven over 6 2/3 innings pitched. Santiago has permitted two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. In his other start in week 16, He received no run support at home against the Detroit Tigers. It didn’t help that Santiago didn’t have his best effort on the night. Santiago ended up suffering the defeat to fall to 3-6 on the season despite his solid 3.38 ERA. He allowed six runs — three earned — on five hits and five walks with six strikeouts over six frames. He threw 110 pitches over that span.
