6/9, meh

Should've been a slam dunk today, but got 8/9 because

Kris Bryant didn't win the Silver Slugger the year he won MVP

9/9, 105 score. Possible to kind of cheat the system if you know what squares to put certain guys in.

Related - anyone know how to put spoiler tags on mobile? The option doesn't come up for me.

9/9,

this was a fun one. was able to use a player from the 1989 and 1998 cubs teams which put a smile on my face.

Mine was real real bad

9/9, hail mary on the detroit/seattle square:

7/9. I had the SEA/DET player in my mind but chickened out

Saturday I kicked ass, rarity score of 95, used Gehrig, Ruth and Mantle to fill spots.  Today completely terrible, first guess was Ed Farmer for Cubs-White Sox, of course, he never played for the Cubs nor did he ever drive in 100 runs.  Cannot believe I missed on Sosa, did get Ordonez and Konerko.

Ditto for me

I whiffed thinking that

Miguel Tejada had hit 40 HR for the A's

[champaignchris]

Wild how few prominent Phillies/A’s there have been considering the age of the two franchises and the fact that they were in the same town for over 50 years. 

[Derwood]

7/9 today because neither

Spoiler

Josh Hamilton nor Alex Rodriguez

reached 30 SB for TEX

 

EDIT: And now looking at their career stats, I don't know why they were good guesses

CrossOver Grid has a really tough row today. Name a player with 2000+ career hits, 200+ HR, or 80+ career wins who was never an All-Star

Hint: Think of standout players that played before there was an All-Star game.
