    Well initially I wanted to just use one player instead I went with two. The second player is the guy who didn't get a hit.

    There is absolutely no reason not to go with 2 players... it doesn't reduce your risk of getting to 56, but it allows you get in more attempts during the season when you miss one.

    If you see 2 you like, I agree with picking 2. If you're just picking 2 to be picking 2, it'll probably backfire more than hit imo

    My plan this year is to pick hitters facing the Braves when we throw scrubs out there like Norris. Got Harper/Rendon tonight,

    Unless you want to keep picking the same player over and over... picking 2 is no different than picking 1.

    Said differently, picking 2 players on Monday is no different than picking one player on Monday and a different player on Tuesday. The advantage is you can work twice as fast and have more attempts throughout the season.

    Hit 10 as my season high and had 9 again last night, but Mauer ended it.

    So far my two best picks have been Trout (6/6) and Miggy with a 4/4 rate.
    Flip side has been Goldschmidt who I am 0/4 with.

    MLBTR noted this today about Desmond in CF (funny as I said the same in last night's game thread): "Ian Desmond’s work in center field has impressed observers, and the Rangers are not ruling out the possibility of retaining him beyond 2016, Rosenthal says. Even if they don’t (and they do have a wide variety of talented young outfielders), Desmond seems like a good bet to land a multi-year deal as a center fielder."
