Our other interloper was the highly touted Mets prospect with the all-star caliber ceiling. Alas, he never got to play for the Mets, and never did make an all-star team, though he did fan more than 200 batters one season. https://img.comc.com/i/Baseball/1987/Donruss---Base/257/Floyd-Youmans.jpg?id=7bbc0a42-f3b0-4eb9-b0ae-3679178377e9&size=original>

I whiffed on PIT/CWS. It's an underwhelming list.

[Edgy MD]

I ran out of guesses before even tackling that square. With the pressure off now, I checked out the list and realize I ought to have come up with Bill Almon and Richie Zisk.



Fun name to see on the list of Buc Sox is that of beloved forum member Johnny Dickshot.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Eight out of nine. A very easy quiz today what with the Mets being the only team column, other than the stumper. No idea on that one.



[FIMG=555]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53183308263_d709f2f7d4_c.jpg[/FIMG]



Willie Montanez is a correct answer to all three of the Mets boxes.

[Edgy MD]

I also gakked on San Francisco's savior.

[batmagadanleadoff]

I like it when IG players post the image of their boards. Where's Nomar?

[Frayed Knot]

Roberto Hernandez would have worked for all three teams in the 300+ saves column. Wagner & Kimbrel in two each.

I went with Robb Nen in the upper right square.



Tough day to go rare as there just aren't that many 300+ guys in either category and many of the wins guys are from ancient times.

So I tried to go rare in the left hand column with Jesus Alou, Brad Hand, and John Stearns.





I don't seem to be able to display my grid

Edgy MD wrote: I also gakked on San Francisco's savior.

So did I. I guessed Steve Bedrosian. Robb Nen would have worked

[Edgy MD]

Joe Nathan would have worked also. He had two partial seasons with the Giants at the top of his career, mostly as a starter, and threw 4 1/3 innings of mopup in his last season.



He had a total of 377 saves, only one of which was as a Giant, but he would have worked.



I went with Armando, but he came up 11 saves short of 300, largely attributable to two meh years as a Giant coming off a superstar year as a Marlin.

[A Boy Named Seo]

I got one anyway.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I guessed Mark Grace as my Cub Roy. One of those I knew was wrong as soon as I guessed.



I had George Frazier as my Cub Yankee. My only impressive pick

[Frayed Knot]

I whiffed on the Red Dodger

[Edgy MD]

Hi, I'm Kyle Schwarber, and I not only did not win Rookie of the Year, I was not even given a single third-place vote, and anyone who thought I did win is an idiot, and deserves the ruined Immaculate grid it gives him.



I would, however, love for A Boy Named Seo's guess to come out legit.

I got an eight today. It wasn't the Dodgers MVP that tripped me up, however. I missed on a wrong guess for Tigers MVP -- my first guess was Kirk Gibson.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Kirk coulda been your Dodgers' MVP.



I scored with John Wockenfuss as the Phillie-Tiger

[batmagadanleadoff]

He coulda slid Willie Hernandez in the MVP slot, too.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, Willie was my Tiger MVP, though I was briefly nervous I'd pick the wrong Willie Hernandez, because the MVP was also known as Guillermo for part of his career. it was another relatively easy grid because there was only one team in the column headings, and it was a familiar one.



All three of my MVPs were lesser lights than my Silver Sluggers, and I guess that's a safer way to play.

Eight out of nine. I coulda took the gimme on the Angels Silver Slugger and went with Mike Trout but I was going for rarity scores and so I typed in Rod Carew, which was a wrong answer.

So I looked this up and forgot that Carew switched from second base to first base when he signed with the Angels. Because I was thinking to myself, how the hell did Carew not win a single Silver Slugger with the Angels? Who was better at second base --- every single season?

[Edgy MD]

A pretty elderly grid if I do say so myself. An unimpressive rarity score of 210, but immaculate nonetheless.

I wanted to use Tommy Harper for the Brewers 30SB player for rarity score purpose, but I had already used him for MIL/OAK. I woulda swapped in Tommie Reynolds for MIL/OAK, lowering my score.
