OT Immaculate Grid

77 score today. Only real low one was Benito Santiago for SF/TOR at .7%. But I did pull Matt Stairs, David Wells, and Jason Grilli all at 2%. The rest were pretty common.
 
Didn't do amazing today it was a solid showing but I will admit I'm very tired. Got done work and I'm trying to cut back caffeine a ton.

I mean ther'es some clear dominant guesses, Bonds/Mays for Giants MVP, CLemente/Cutch/Bonds for Pitt.

Oakland 20 Win I went with our boy Tim Hudson, I figured the Big 3 would have a decent showing but lose out to legends like Vida Blue, Catfish Hunter, Rube Waddell, or even Dave Stewart. Boy I think I was wrong. I bet Dave Stewart or Catfish Hunter would have been lower than Hudson.

TOR 20 I went with my classic TOR/Yankee pitcher David Wells, was pretty low. Halladay was obvious number 1 and CLemens had to be number 2, looking at the numbers I'm shocked Halladay was that high.

My 2 below 1% were Felipe Alou for SFG/OAK (IIRC all 3 alou brothers played for both bay teams) at 0.2% and Dock Ellis for pit/Oak, don't remember why I thought of ellis for Oakland but I feel like I remember seeing a picture of him in the A's uniform, obviously I'm right.

love the Matt Stairs love. I had Lyle Overbay today.
 
38 rarity score today.

Jay Witasick for obscure relievers FTW.

Thanks again to Triple Play Baseball 98 and 99 for the Jose Cruz Jr., Pat Hentgen, Stargell, and McCovey picks. My bro used to trade for Hentgen for his rotation all the time. Stargell is the only non-Bonds pirates player I know who could have won MVP (Clemente being hte other). Once I went with one Willie, went with the other Willie for SF since Posey, Bonds, Mays would have been too obvious. I only know Koufax won 20+MVP because when Kershaw did it a few years ago they kept comping him winning the MVP-CYA and winning 20 to Koufax. Mulder the only A's pitcher I know that won 20 that wasn't Barry Zito. I don't think Huddy ever got up there. Only know Lyle Overbay because he and Scott Thorman were best buds on Team Canada. And Overbay actually played for the Jays. I think fellow Canadian Jason Bay also played for the Pirates,but not sure if he played for the Jays. Overbay used to get a lot of Adam LaRoche comparisons.

A 78 today mostly because of Elvis Andrus (50) for Texas and 30+ steals.

Low score was David Segui for WSH/MON and Texas (0.05). Also Graeme Lloyd at 0.2 for WSH/MON/MIL

Relied on some former Braves today:
Odalis Perez for KC/WSH (0.2)
Wally Joyner for KC/SD (0.8)
Ken Caminiti for TEX/SD (2)
 
Lows for me today were Terry Mullholland @ .2% and Carl Pavano at 1%.

Everyone else was 5% or more. Even David Ross for CHI/Boston was 10%, which surprised the hell out of me considering there huge swathe of prominent players that have played for both clubs.
 
Mrs Meta and I were truly stumped today, so we worked on the grid together.

My contribution was Rod Beck in the Chi-BOS. He helped me remember Matt Lawton for MINN-CLE. I kept thinking of Coco Crisp, Milton Bradley. Remembered there was an OF for Minn just couldn't remember his name.

Doug Mientkewicz I think was surprisingly at like 5% for MINN-BOS.

I couldn't for the life of me figure out a Cubs-Cleveland pick.

The obvious MINN-BOS was David Ortiz. CHI-BOS was Nomar.
 
High score today 127 because I knew no Twin who won the Cy other than Johan Santana. I also really thought I'd get a lower score from Kenny Lofton. I did a bit of 3D chess and used my weird factoids about Steve Carlton to get him for Cleveland which I knew would leave Sabathia wide open as I knew he'd dominate the Cleveland one. I think Blyleven or Niekro may have played for Cleveland.
 
A score of 131 today (thanks to Johan)

I also went with Mientkiewicz, Lawton, and Lofton.

My low was Tom Gordon for Red Sox/Cubs at 0.1%. Also Smoltz (2%), Seaver for Cy Young/3,000 (4), Sutcliffe for Cubs/Cy Young (5%), and Gaylord Perry for Cleveland/3,000 (9%)
 
I got a 406 while getting all 9 correct, lol. I tried Jim Kaat, Luis Tiant, and Bob Feller and missed all of them trying to be different, then said screw it and started over in incognito. I got 7/9 top answers, plus Maddux for the Cubs Cy at over 30%. And then Glenallen Hill for CLE/CHC at 0.3%.
 
A 41 this morning with most of that coming from Nelson Cruz (22). I couldn't remember another TB/BAL player to save my life even though I know there's been quite a few.

For the Braves row, I went Reggie Sanders (1), Dave Martinez (0.1), and Ender (0.9). Other low was Norm Charlton for Reds/O's at 0.4. Also used Brandon Phillips, Troy Percival, Darin Erstad, and Brady Anderson.
 
41 for me as well with most of that coming from Frank Robinson for Bal/Cin.

I was proud of my Braves line.

Atl/Cin- Chris Rietsma - 0.1
Atl/TBR- Nick Green - 0.1
Atl/All Star- Bruce Benedict - 0.08
 
31 this morning.

Corky Miller - Atl/Cin @ .2%
Johnny Venters - Atl/TB @ .5%
Omar Infante - Atl All Star @ .6%
John Means - Balt All Star @ 1%
Sean Rodriguez - TB/LAA @ .5%
Zack Cozart LAA/Cin @ 10%
Gausman - CIN/BALT @ 6%
Alex Cobb - TB/Balt @ 7%
Troy Glaus - LAA All Star@ 5%


Side note: Went back to check out Troy Glaus' Atlanta stats for sh!ts and giggles. While doing so I saw that he hit 88 homers over 2000 and 2001, which was 2nd overall in the AL. He also had 13 bWAR over these 2 years. And he didn't get a single MVP vote. How does that happen? Granted, there were lots of really good hitters during that time, but he can't even get a single vote? Garrett Anderson, (the effing Gazelle, himself) finished 21st in MVP voting with a .798 OPS and 2.7 bWAR. How the eff does Glaus not even get a single vote?
 
Ive come to the conclusion that even though Ive played fantasy baseball for over 20 years, I REALLY suck at this game. I do fine on stats and award winners but I just sit there staring at the screen when it comes to multi-team players.
