10. Duke
11. Eflin
12. Greinke

16. Morris

[Cowtipper]

Zack Wheeler is the easy one.

I had a kitty named Zack when I was little one…after Ringo Starr’s son.  I don’t know if I ever picked a spelling 🤔

[Edgy MD]

Ringo's son is neither a Zac, nor a Zach, nor a Zack!

He's a Zak!  I should have include that spelling in the options!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Zack Wheat. One of my favorite Hall of Famers who I know little about.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Zach Pop

The weird thing is that there were, like, two MLB Zack/Zach/Zacs in the rest of the 20th Century, each with ephemeral careers.  But now you can't take a piss in Major League baseball without a guy named Zac at the next urinal.

Lutz was a Zach.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Zac Thornton, though I believe his career started with an H or K

Mr. Wylde would like to protest his name's exclusion as a choice also.

A K gets you three points!

Eating your Wheaties helps!  That's two Zacks in two guesses, and five points for you!

We have our first Zach on the board!  And everybody's talking about his music!

Oh, the H's are bringing big points!  Another three pointer!

Oh, we have our first Zac unleashed!  And because you are correct about him being introduced to the Major League world as a Zach as he made his debut against Washington, the judges have decided to give you an arbitrary bonus point!

Lots of big opportunities, still on the board!

We have the fifth of our six Mets players off the board with no incorrect guesses!

Just a reminder that, should you cheat, your genitals will be absolutely covered in warts!  I've spoken with Santa Claus about this and he'll totally do it.
