It looks like the Central league selections are coming up Pacific. I'm guessing JBall fan picked Woods like myself and came up with Cabrera on the selection.

Thanks for catching that. I believe that the data is correct, it was just a display error.
Let me know if you have any other problems. Or if the displayed player is now who you voted for.

After a week of May games (end of play on May 8), this is the change in home runs and average for the top home run hitters in the two leagues. Can the batters keep up this pace? Will the 10 day suspension on Woods have an effect?

We're now two weeks into the month of May (end of play on May 15). The change in home runs and average for the top home run hitters in the two leagues are listed below.
You may cast a vote once every 24 hours up to May 25.
Woods spent the week on suspension. He should be back into the Dragons' lineup this week. Yoshinobu Takahashi has been on the DL since May 5 with a pulled right shoulder muscle (I think) sustained when he ran into the fense against Hiroshima on April 30. [Disabled List (in Japanese)] The earliest he's expected back will be May 19.

Apr 30 -> May 8 -> May 15 Pacific LeagueThe biggest improvement was Yakult's Ramirez with three home runs over the past week. The Giants' Abe caught up with team mate Kiyohara with a pair of round trippers, and Yokohama's Murata also hit two out. Otherwise, progress has been just one for the week if at all.
