Hey Batter³ Contest, Week 10: Rendon’t Count Him Out

Do you know the difference between Anthony Rendon and Kris Bryant? Well if we are comparing them from a points league perspective, the answer is "very little at all". The two have posted extremely similar numbers so far this season. To be more precise, Rendon has 145 points and Bryant has 146. And while we're comparing, Bryant has had 16 additional plate appearances. While I'd obviously prefer to have Bryant, I just wanted to point out how much of a return Rendon's owners are getting on their draft day investment. Anthony Rendon led all batters with 43 points in week 8. Sadly, no one in the contest picked him. Next was Lucas Duda with 39. No one picked the Duda either. Then Charlie Blackmon (35 and Unpickable), Adam Duvall (35), Anthony Rizzo (33 and Unpickable) and Jordy Mercer (30). It's not until Jose Abreu and Melky Cabrera, each with 29 points, do we find a batter that was picked by someone in week 8. You Know Nothing, J.T. Snow picked Melky, but he was not the week's winner. That honor goes to Smallwine who selected Jose Abreu, Jose Bautista and Michael Conforto for a total of 71 points. After finishing second in week 7, Smallwine jumped right back in the saddle and took care of business. Nice work! Don't under do it finished second with 64 points. Here are the top 5 from Week 8:
