The All-Weekend Team

This edition of the Big Ten Hardball All-Weekend Team is more pitching heavy than normal. It was actually a bit of a struggle to pick hitters, as the pitchers clearly dominated the bats this past weekend.

As usual, I encourage you to check my numbers. I am apt to missing something periodically. I also would request that you drop me a line if you feel I missed someone.
