Congratulations to Dan Dolan, whose DenverDan Redemption team in Las Vegas League 8 led the way in the NFBC last week with 3,348 points.

Big weeks from Justin Morneau (.480-4-8), Adam Lind (.346-3-5), Jacoby Ellsbury (.375-2-4-4) and Emilio Bonifacio (.304, 2 SBs) led the way at the plate. Ricky Nolasco had a huge week on the mound, winning twice with 20 strikeouts, while Brian Fuentes, Joakim Soria and Kevin Gregg combined for eight saves.

Congratulations again to Dan and good luck to everyone in the NFBC this week.

Nice job Danny boy. Led early in the week, fell off the pace and then came back to snag the brass ring with a big Sunday. Good for you. Now all you have to do is bring something akin to that formula to your tough LV 8 and 'Redemption' is all yours. Good luck there (you'll need it) and congrats here.

Congrats to Vegas League 8 foe Denver Dan. After this fantastic week, your job now is to steal points from Haney and Zola.

I must be a good luck charm...the buys sitting on both sides of me have notched a Main Event Weekly Winner in their belt!

Great week, Triple D's!

Dan Dolan was seeking redemption this year. He had a good run in a pair of NFBC events last year, finishing second in the Super League and a $1,000 satellite.

But his main event team? Well, that didn’t go the way he planned.

Dolan entered the 2009 NFBC season on a mission. And last week, he took a big step forward in terms of redemption as his DenverDan Redemption team in Las Vegas League 8 led the way in the NFBC last week with 3,348 points.

Big weeks from Justin Morneau (.480-4-8), Adam Lind (.346-3-5), Jacoby Ellsbury (.375-2-4-4) and Emilio Bonifacio (.304, 2 SBs) led the way at the plate. Ricky Nolasco had a huge week on the mound, winning twice with 20 strikeouts, while Brian Fuentes, Joakim Soria and Kevin Gregg combined for eight saves.

“So far so good,” Dolan said. “I’m in a tough league with Lindy Hinkleman, Terry Haney and Todd Zola, but at least there is still half a season to go. And what a way to start the second half with a weekly win.

“Last year, I tried to be strong in the toughest categories to compete in – Stolen Bases and Saves. While I did well in those two categories, it was at the expense of the other eight.

“This year, I tried to draft a more balanced tam. The offense has been very good, but the pitching has been holding me back. But with Ricky Nolasco starting to come around and a well-timed pickup of Tim Wakefield to go along with Matt Cain and Johnny Cueto, I have started to become a much more rounded pitching staff. Hopefully, it’s not too late to compete in my league and for the main event title.”

The 48-year-old Dolan has been married to his wife Cindy for 25 years with two children. He owns a construction supply business.
