I'm going with Alex Cora on this one.

[Guest Edgy DC]

The homer will definitelly be Wright. To right field, I'm pretty sure.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Also, the answer to number 12 is David Wright.

[Benjamin Grimm]

And number 10 is Castillo.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Number 13, first walk, goes to Castillo.

[Guest Edgy DC]

And number five. First steal.

He's all over this contest.

[nymr83]

lets avoid number 17 "winning" until next week.
