Just a note for everyone, if you get an active player make sure it is set on regular season and NOT spring training. Thats the difference of a .433 for Mark Teixeira and a .151 :lol: :(


First Base: (A1, A1) - (88) Mark Teixeira, Avg >< .275 (N22) = -5 x 124 = -620


Second Base: (B2, B2) - (35) Chuck Knoblach, Runs Scored (G17) = 3 x 107 = 321


Third Base: (C3, C3) - (24) Aramis Ramirez, Walks (A15) = 4 x 44 = 176


Shortstop: (D4, D4) - (79) Greg Gagne/ HRs(K19) = 10 x 12 = 120


Total: -3

The leaderboard has been updated. To move things along, I will roll out the outfielders today and the bench players tomorrow. The game should wrap up by the end of the week.

1B - D6, F12 - Jack Fournier - 79, M11 - 30 doubles * 5 = 150pts
2B - F4, Z7 - Carlos Baerga - 60, E1 - 0 Stolen bases = 0pts
3B - A1, B2 - Joe Randa - 68, G17 - 92 Runs * 3 = 276pts
SS - E6, P3 - Herman Long - 31, K17 - 3 HR *10 = 30pts

Total infield points is 456 with one caveat. Is the American Association considered a major league for this contest? I'm assuming it is on Herman Long, if not I would have a few more points.

Yes, the AA is considered a major league, as are all other defunct leagues. Scroll to the bottom of this page for reference:

The Japanese and ***** Leagues are also included.
