2007 NSBB Homerun Derby Standings ~ June 7, 2007

 

This is posted to get standings up... with the caveat that I still don't feel these are 100% accurate. I will do my best to have this 100% by the end of the weekend. Thank you.

Ch-changes! Did b_wiggy enter the Predictions Contest? He could sweep NSBB pre-season contests.

 

Thanks for working to get this up, Southpaw.

Soriano's finally starting to come through for me. I'm not doing bad considering my Wild Card pick has been a total washout.

[E.J.]

Wow. Look at me climbing up the board. I'm still nowhere near the top, but at least I'm not in last. I also see Bob made a big move since last standings update.

[soccer10k]

Wait, so Bob's not in last anymore? This is disappointing.

Lee and Soriano stopped sucking for a couple of days

[Andy]

Well, I sucked last year in this contest and this year I'm blowing hard core.

Well, in that case, I hope you move up the leaderboard, not just because the Cubs would benefit but also because I have both players on my team.

New Update forthcoming in the morning.

[E.J.]

Still nowhere near the top, but I've moved up a bunch the past two updates.

[Schwarber Fan]

WOW, I completely forgot about this. I'm not doing too bad either...

[soccer10k]

I'm right in the middle.

[Derwood]

i'm within 16 of the top. not shabby. Still kicking myself for not taking Sosa though.

[Derwood]

i was swapping either McCann or Drew, but I have more faith that Drew can pull out a big second half than McCann
