Anyone tried the Immaculate Grid game?

FINALLY!   The slump is over.   I hadn't gotten 9/9 in over 2 weeks.   I filled in 4 quick, easy Orioles and for the most part after that I didn't worry about rarity or Orioles, I just wanted to end the losing streak.

9/9, 73

Spoiler

Jack Morris, Travis Fryman, Fred Lynn

Frank Viola, Eddie Murray, Mookie Wilson

JJ Hardy, Omar Vizquel, Mlevin Mora

Edit:  Turns out my top row was the same as @OsFanSinceThe80s.

Took this one kinda slow and got probably my lowest rarity score ever with 9/9 18. 

The "Min 1 Game" positional eligibility really opens up the avenues to get low rarity scores. A couple of obscure former O's came in handy. 

Spoiler

Delmon Young, Eric Haase, Quintin Berry

Gary Sanchez, Rajai Davis, Endy Chavez

JJ Hardy, Gio Urshela, Jorge MAteo

9/9, 45, used Orioles for 8 of the 9 squares.

Spoiler

Couldn't come up with a White Sox / Blue Jay who also played for the Orioles.  After the fact I see I could have used David Wells, Roberto Alomar, or Edwin Jackson (I had used Alomar elsewhere in the grid).

My grid:

Mark Buehrle, Travis Snider, Roberto Alomar

Thome, Mussina, Ripken

Belle, Olson, Singleton

Orioles row today. Couldn’t pull the non obvious Reds 200 hit answer. Have to go back a ways. 
 

My Cubs column combined for 1.1. But I only got 159 total because I had the high score for the other two Reds columns.

 

Orioles row was 9.3.

I’m currently sitting on 8/8, racking my brain trying to think of the name of the SS who played for the Nats and then played for Texas and KC.   I remember he had a terrible walk year with the Nats,  signed a pillow contract and hit very well as an OF for Texas, then signed a big deal with KC and sucked there.  I can picture him, know all this crap about him, but the name is eluding me.  I’ll sit on this all day if I have to.

I think I know who you're thinking of. You're getting one key fact wrong in his career trajectory.

9/9 - Comparatively easy one today if rarity wasn't a concern.  Quite a few recent or big names to fill the squares.  

Spoiler

Gaylord Perry - Manny Ramirez - Jose Ramirez

Cole Ragans - George Brett - Jarrod Dyson

Will Smith - Henry Aaron - Ron Gant

    • the question isn’t about being able to make the offers, it’s about being awarded compensatory picks for more than one.
    • I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.
    • It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.
    • Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.
    • O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted. 
    • No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.
    • The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.
