2009 Pool champion John Agnello hops to the top spot for our 4th of July update, thanks in part to Mariano Rivera’s blown save yesterday. Three entrants trail John by only two HBP, including our co-founder Dan McCloskey.

Heath Bell amassed five saves in one week at the end of June, and has joined Brian Wilson and three other relievers atop the NL category. Pool fave Tim Lincecum pitches today but trails stealth pick Clayton Kershaw by 16 Ks.

Look for another update before next week’s All-Star break, and check www.mlbpool.blogspot.com for freshest Pool info.
