I was thinking ERA (low) and (high) would be for the whole team. BAA, too.

Some typos in Metirish's post, misplaced decimal points in the ERA figures, and a '4'" instead of '3' in Reyes' OBP. Is this correct, Irish?

[Elster88]

Bump...as the annoying capitalized title states, I couldn't remember what section 3 was from last year's Met Predictions. I remembered it and added in. This is a fun game.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

While you're at it, maybe add a whacky tiebreaker: Total number of rainouts.

Do we know who won this dealie last year? Was it wiped out?

[Elster88]

I dunno. I wasn't in charge.

That tiebreaker sounds fine to me: Total number of rainouts.

Folks, don't be afraid of Bret. If he tries to make fun of your prediction for Reyes' OBP or whatever the fuck, just ignore him. He's just a malcontent looking for attention.

I encourage you to update your predictions to include the new team categories on the first post of this thread. You can't win if you don't play.

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

You can't win if you post ridiculous things, either. Just trying to give Irish a chance to get his posts back to earth.

Do we need to have innings minimums for any of those pitching categories, or do we want to make it a crapshoot like that?
