Top 10 Stays Put: RotoGrinders Weekly Ranking Update
Movers and Shakers
This week the Top 10 held put for the first time I can remember since the inception of the RotoGrinders Rankings, but that’s not to say we didn’t have an active week. Most notably, Sprizouse (#49) jumped 10 spots in the rankings as he began his quest for 500 Wins. With 3/4ths of the month remaining, I’d expect to see Spriz continue to climb the rankings.
Judson23 debuted in the rankings this week at #17 Overall, which comes as no surprise after seeing the tear he’s been on in FanDuel Large Field Contests. Since May Judson has had insane results in these guaranteed prize pools, racking up 11 scores of $1,000 or more and 35 Scores of $500 or more. In each of the past two months, he’s had over $15,000 in winnings. If he keeps this run up during August, it could be legendary, and Judson is solidifying himself as a Guaranteed Prizepool/Large Field Contest Star.
Other notable moves this week included DaBigU (#12) and Devo1099 (#15) each climbing one spot within the Top 15. Jbergey (#24) climbed his way into the Top 25 this week with a big four spot jump, while RotoGrinders contributing writer, Notorious (#26) just missed the Top 25 cut after rising 3 spots in the Rankings. Chacha59 jumped a massive 14 spots in the Rankings up to 82nd, making him our position climber this week. Lastly, let’s give a welcome to RedZone197 (#96) and Steven1974 (#98) who cracked the Top 100 for the first time this week!
Congrats to all who had a great week! Now, let’s take a closer look at the Top 25, Monthly Leaderboard, and Seasonal Leaderboards:

August MGLB
Notes: Seven days through August, Judson’s huge scores give him a firm grasp on the top spot. Newcomer GreggyV holds onto 2nd with an exponential rise in winnings, and DaBigU, #5 Ranked Heelsman and Sprizouse round out the Top 5. This month however, the title and custom RotoGrinders MGLB badge are totally up for grabs. Here’s your current Top 15:

Seasonal Leaderboard
Notes: HixvilleHunk (#3) maintains a firm grasp on the title and rights to the unique avatar for MLB Champ of 2011. He’s off to a slow start in August, and while he will surely be back with a vengeance to add to his total, there’s still plenty of time to catch him. Here’s the current MLB leaderboard picture:
