25.

1.7 on the Orioles row. Two squares took up 15 of the 25 points.

Who’d you use for O’s 100 run scorer?  I used the same guy as Moose and was surprised he cost me 18 points.  

[backwardsk]

Guy who played multiple positions when he got here from the Mets in the early/mid 2000s. Settled in at 3B. Made at least one all-star game.

Great answer.  I wouldn’t have been sure that he ever scored 100 runs, though I’m not surprised he once did.

9/9 63

Spoiler

Cecil Cooper, Jim Gantner, Ryan Braun

Harold Baines, Nellie Fox, Tim Raines

Bobby Bonilla .4%, Bret Barberie .07%, Melvin Mora 1%

Braun blew it out of the water at 23%.  Gantner was 11%, everyone else under 10%.

He had that one season where he hit .340 and got on base at a .419 clip, mostly ahead of Tejada in the batting order.

Name tracker passed 250 yesterday.  

I've used Cal Ripken 6 times, he's the leader.  For some reason, he's guaranteed a low score any time there's an MVP box mixed with something else or some stat box mixed with something else.  People seem to forget that he had a few seasons where he hit .300, a few seasons where he scored 100+ runs, that he won MVP AND ROY....I dunno, it's weird that he registers low scores.

Bonilla, Murray, Carlton, 5 times each.

I’ve probably used Edwin Jackson correctly  more than 6 times, out of sheer desperation.

7/9, 253.

Spoiler

I thought Kerry Wood had a no hitter for the Cubs. 

I thought Dave Stewart won a Cy Young for the A's.

Wrong on both counts.

Managed to use a few Orioles:  Fernando Valenzuela, Jake Arrieta, Jim Palmer, Mike Cuellar.

How do you see the name tracker? Or is that something you started doing for yourself? 

Today I got a 9/9 126.

Rickey Henderson | Dustin May | Hideo Nomo

Jon Lester | Aroldis Chapman | Jake Arrieta

Dennis Eckersley | Eric Gagne | Jim Palmer

Mora and Tejada in '04 were incredible. So was Javy Lopez. That offense was playoff level. But it turned out Sidney Ponson and Jorge Julio were not!

He’s got his nerd on.  He’s doing it himself.

Started a spreadsheet a couple days before Christmas. Totally nerdy but was curious to see how many players I’d name, who I used the most etc.

If you are bored with the Grid or think it's too easy... try mlbpickle.com.   That game is HARD.  Especially out of season.

9/9 100 

Spoiler

Oil Can Boyd, Mickey Tettleton, Evan Carter

Rick Ankiel, Jack Clark, Yadier Molina

That is way hard.  I got it today, but I had to cheat and look up the teams roster after I figured out who the team was, and even then I got it on the 9th guess.  And there's no possible way I would have guessed that player if I were given 100 chances, I barely know who he is.

As best as I can tell, the most important thing is to guess the correct team early on, followed by the position.  If you do that early on, you have half a chance.
