My answers (correct ones bolded):

1) Michael Young
2) Hank Blalock
3) Wright – 4; Hunter – 3; Murray – 2; Rupe – 1
4) Mendoza, Benoit, Madrigal
5) Young
6) Murphy
7) Young
8) Young, Hamilton, Byrd
9) Laird, Kinsler
10) Wright
11) Laird, Byrd, Young, Hamilton, Botts
12) Rupe

So, if I get one point for every correct name on the list, I get 13 points. I’m shocked I got 12 right; that was straight outta my ass.

So, let's see how I did...

1. MY – check

2. I said Hank or Nellie… wrong.

3. Madrigal, Murray Hunter and Mathis… check, check, check & check.

4. I got Mendoza and Madrigal, but siad Wright instead of Benoit… 2 of 3 there.

5. I said Bradley or Kinsler… since I put Bradley first though I’m wrong.

6. I said Kinsler/Byrd – Wrooong.

7. I had Bradley – wrooong.

8. 2-3 – got Hamilton and MY, but said Murphy instead of Milton.

9. 1-2 – I had Bradley.

10. Damnit… I said Wright with Rupe second, I lose again. Actually that should be half a point. Yeah.

11. I had Bradley, Byrd and MY, so 3-5 here… Damn, Blalock hit into a lot of GIDPs in his abbreviated season.

12. More failure here – I said Padilla.

So… if my quick recount here is correct, I got 14 out of 23.

Feldman and Rupe in the top 4 in IP...

…can’t imagine there was ANY thought in ST that that would play out.

MY's injury did help him...

…keep his GIDP toatl under 20 for the first time in a few years.
