The Zephyrs, I might as well mention, used to play in Denver and were bumped out of their former home when the current NL champs entered the National League.

Denver Zephyrs was supposed to be the name of a major league expansion franchise, but the group who owned the Zephyrs didn't win the franchise when it was granted for the 1993 expansion.

Using the new CranePool Kwizmaster scoring system (five for a correct answer, mius two for an incorrecto), that's 14 points.

[Valadius]

HR and RBI - soon-to-be 34-year-old Andy Tracy.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Vlad lies low and snags 10 points just like that! Tracy hit 23 homers and 87 RBI, leading the Zephs as well as the Partridge Family.

[seawolf17]

Would the ERA lead have gone to Humber also? And I'd figure Tracy got the OPS title also.

Anderson Hernandez for BA? I seem to remember him hitting well.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Correct. Ten points for the Seawolf.

[Guest SI Metman]

I remember seeing Ivan Maldonado pick up a few saves in the box scores over the course of the season. I'll go with him, even though NO really had a closer by committee.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Ivan Maldonado is CORRECT for five.

[seawolf17]

Who the hell is Ivan Maldonado? You made him up.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

He's a young guy

[seawolf17]

Everybody!

Aaaaawwwwwwwwwww.....

[Guest Edgy DC]

Don't be fooled. That kid cheats at SCRABBLE.

Meanwhile, who led the team in pitching appearances?

[Farmer Ted]

That kid is one helluva mud eater, too. I'm betting that shirt stayed white and starched for about six minutes tops.
