[Derwood]

wouldn't Ian Kinsler (6) be the best wildcard pick for the "perfect" score?

[Laura]

No one picked Kinsler this season, and people can only switch wildcards once over the all-star break.

 

I think he's looking at 'perfect' within the NSBB populated wildcard universe. :)

no one picked A-Rod either....

[Laura]

Good point.

 

But ... the group hitters are a limited category and someone could pick up ARod today whereas no one can pick up Kinsler until the All-Star break.

 

The bottom line for me is -- if it's extra work for him to track down the top HR hitter who isn't a group hitter and who no one picked (and who can't be picked for another 3 months), then I'm not going to ask him to do so, since he's running enough of the stats already.

 

But I will thank anyone who wants to keep track of it. :)

 

eta: It would be less work as the season progressed, but we're still at the stage now where a Ryan Braun could be promoted and jump out to the lead in short order.

[Flames24Rulz]

I like it. Only 5 behind the lead. I was nowhere this close last year.

Last year, the "perfect score" was determined by who you could have chosen in the A-D groups, and the Wild Card based on those chosen by the Derby community.

 

This year, it continued the same way, like Laura has mentioned.

I'd also like to update that all transactions that have been posted, have been updated in the database.

 

Thanks.

[wekse]

WOOT!

 

 

2nd? I can't even remember who I picked!

 

 

i don't remember all of my guys either, heh.

You guys and gals do realize by the time you reply with how happy you are to be in a certain place in the standings, that you're already in a different slot? :lol:

Unfortunately for you, this isn't golf and the lowest score doesn't win. :D.

Mark Prior's Calves, I'm guessing based on the initials and avatar.
