Anyone tried the Immaculate Grid game?

[nvpacchi]

Love seeing other puzzles to give me ammunition for future rounds!

I try to use Al Oliver any chance I get, such a useful piece.

I'd like it if they told you the amount of time as a metric on top of the rarity score. Doing it as fast as possible would be a fun and different skill from doing it with obscure players. 

Agreed

Tied you.

Pete Vuckovich 4%, Corbin Burnes 9%, Rollie Fingers 14%

John Lackey 8%, Tristan Casas 7%, Cy Young 2%

Roger Maris 10%, Anthony Volpe 7%, Whitey Ford 6%

If you take the best of our answers we could have been at 29.

Raines was the first player I thought of, the Expos/White Sox connection but I didn't expect him to be at 21%.  So I didn't hesitate to put Frank Thomas in there and he really blew up the score, but that's fine.

9/9, 40.  8 Orioles used.

Spoiler

Tim Raines 23%, Ralph Garr 0.2%, Albert Belle 3%

Jeffrey Hammonds 0.1%, Steve Finley 3%, Will Clark 7%.

Vlad Guerrero 4%, Don Baylor 0.9%, Miguel Tejada 0.2%.

Could I have found an Oriole to fill the CWS/LAA square?   Yep, Hall of Famer Hoyt Wilhelm, Tommy Davis, Aurelio Rodriguez, Odrisamer Despaigne... I can honestly say I never would have come up with any of them so I'm glad I didn't spend a lot of time wracking my brain.

tough puzzle on Thursday, but redemption today

9/9 80 today.  The Texas column cost me a lot of points, but I would have been hard pressed to come up with better answers there.  

[SteveA]

9/9, 19 points, 8 Orioles used (and there was no Oriole that I could have used for the lower left corner).

Spoiler

Tommy Hunter 0.5%, Melvin Mora 0.2%, Bobby Bonilla 2%

Mark McLemore 2%, Lenn Sakata 0.1%, Davey Johnson 5%

Bump WIlls 6%, Luis Aparicio 2%, Cedric Mullins 1%

63 - Rangers SB burned me

[Spy Fox]

Same as the above that I was on my way to one of my best scores yesterday, except for being unable to think of a low profile Texas speedster. 53 in the end, 38 from that one player.

9/9, 46, 7 Orioles

Spoiler

Getting all 9 Orioles in a 3 team by 3 team grid that didn't include the Orioles was do-able.   I got 7 and the two I failed on:

Spoiler

Could have used Doug Drabek for Houston/Pittsburgh, and Colby Rasmus for Houston/St Louis.   I consider both of those "gettable", unlike sometimes when to use Orioles I would have had to know two random teams that Aurelio Rodriguez or Odrisamer Despaigne played for, AND remember to think of them.

8/9 154

Jose Canseco played for Tampa and Oakland but he didn't play in RF for Tampa, apparently.
