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.

That is, I got 14-23 since I gave myself a half point apeice for #5 and #10

I say
That only gets you 13 points so that ties you with me.

Feldman and Rupe in the top 4 in IP...
…can’t imagine there was ANY thought in ST that that would play out.
Physician: Primum non nocere
Batter: First, make no out
MY's injury did help him...
…keep his GIDP toatl under 20 for the first time in a few years.

Batter: First, make no out
