CL1 - A2, D10 - Hoyt Wilhelm (HOF) - 37 O6 Wins (2) * 75 = 150pts
CL2 - E3, T11 - Darold Knowles - 84 H3 Saves (14) * 15 = 210pts
CL3 - F6, K14 - Dave Smith - 41 I22 Saves (27) * 15 = 405pts

Catcher - A2, S9 - Jason Kendall - 5 L6 Hits (161) * 3 = 483pts

Total points - (150 + 210 + 405 + 483) = 1248pts

I find it fascinating that Jason Kendall had more career hits than Yogi Berra, Mike Piazza and Johnny Bench. Just one of those nuggets a contest like this reveals.

CL1: Trevor Hoffman(D6,P12) = A21 = BAA<.250 = .211 : 39 x 5 = 195
CL2: Jose Valverde(J4,R11) = H12 = Saves = 10 x 15 = 150
CL3: Jim Brewer(A8, Q9) = I25 = Saves = 1 x 15 = 15
C: Smoky Burgess(I6,N12) = Average < .275 = 7 x -5 = -35
Grand Total = +325

Stats are for MLB and not minors too correct? That's what was used for Valverde.

Yes, MLB stats only. I apologize for not clarifying earlier.

[MENTION=5090]oiccup41[/MENTION] appears to be running away with this, but there is still a lot left to be played. Also, the trading block may shake things up.

These pairings are 100% randomly generated. The full trading block will be revealed after the bench player round.
