I don't really have a chance to win but at least I'm closer to first than last.

[Southpaw191679666239]

I don't really have a chance to win but at least I'm closer to first than last.

 

My goal is just to finish in the top 10. Sitting at 12 right now is a step in the right direction.

[E.J.]

Bah. I've started tapering off after climbing from last to the top 10. I'm hoping to get into the top 5 before this is all said and done.

[Derwood]

adding ryan braun as my WC was the best decision ever

[Balsa]

I should have, I just didn't think he'd keep up that crazy pace. I thought that MLB pitchers would catch on at some point.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

sweet -- closer to the top than the bottom!!!

I'm now closer to first than last and only one away from the North Carolina lead. :D

[TruffleShuffle]

hey I don't know if this was recorded - it hasn't been changed on my "official" team in the HR derby thread - but I did this on August 8:

 

going for broke - if someone gets hurt i'm boned, but drop nick swisher and add miggy cabrera in the C-group

 

if it hasn't been recorded, i should have a grand total of one additional home run. I need a late push from Ryan Howard or Justin Morneau, someone like that.

[Laura]

The HR Derby team thread hasn't been updated since I did it last.

 

Southpaw doesn't use that list and updates as he goes through this thread.

shouldn't the perfect bonus pick be Ryan Braun (30) ?

[Southpaw191679666239]

* I kept the “Perfect Score” totals with the original WC selections, because if you had that lineup, you wouldn’t have had to change your WC pick.
