-As we pull into the All-Star Break, the unofficial half way point of Rockem 17, a familiar face is at the top of the charts. Birdie has turned into BK and has dominated this year. For the first half of the year he has solidly been in the top 3 and for the last month he has held onto 1st place with an iron grip. D-Mac has been jumping ahead of John and falling behind him to second as well for the whole first half, but while he was busy welcoming his first child into the world, your humble Commish managed to creep like a creeper and tie him for second place right at the break.

-Tom has been impressive the last month pumping up to fourth but no one has impressed more than BK himself as he was dead last (by a lot) on June 1st and now has propelled himself all the way to 5th hole. Truth is (as always) the middle of the league is packed and movement up and down the rankings is one good or bad night away. Fatty and Wilson are tied at 6th and both have spent time in first place but now reside smack dab in the middle.

 Moon and Mike are lodged into 8th and 9th respectively while Jeff has seen the biggest swing having started ice cold, climbed to the top of the heap and then quickly fell back down sitting currently in 10th place. Bull is in first place with confusing name changes but has been towards the bottom most of this year as Vig currently has a familiar haunt, the wood paneled Rockem basement but with all of his moves he has pin-balled around the lower half of the standings.

 **Tangled Upton Blue - Tied for 2nd Place**, [[https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/9420|Scooter Gennett]] Season Ranking: 23
-While Don is not to focused on baseball right now, his team is still producing. This pick was tough because the preview robots all loved Don's squad picking him to finish in the money, but my preview saw a different result. Since I am writing this and not Russians spam bots, I will pick Gennett who I thought was a reach at 17th round and has proved to be one of hte best offensive players of the first half. Pretty amazing…like the miracle of life.

 **The Spearmint Rhinos - Tied for 6th Place,** [[https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7790|Jon Lester]] Season Ranking: 83
-For most of the first half Wilson was sitting pretty in the top three or always floating around there. So was Lester, sporting an 83rd overall ranking however if you dig into the numbers you see some warning signs. Over the last 14 days Wilson has slide down the Rockem Sockem ladder, falling into a 6th place tie and Lester is ranked 581st over the last two weeks. Yikes. For an 8th round pick Lester could use a bit more consistency. Then again the league is so tight and Lester so good both can bounce back, but will they?!?

 **MakeBryceGreatAgain - 10th Place**, [[https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/9376|Carlos Martinez]] Season Ranking: 292
-Jeff had lots of options for this one. His patron team name player Bryce is certainly in the running, Joey Gallo can fit, but injuries, inconsistencies and a huge fucking WHIP has Martinez taking the nod. The last 30 days have not been kind to Jeff as he has fallen mightily and Martinez is ranked 480th over that month. Pretty much fits in the overarching theme of Jeffe's 2018 Rockem Campaign.
