SportsCoach's Second Annual Amazon Predictions Thread!!!!

[sportscoach]

Alright ladies! @CATS44 Won the previous year by squeaking out the win for the first Amazon gift card! So since we have nothing to do for a few months, let's get this started early! I am hoping more people play this year!

How it works, essentially fill out the predictions and whomever is the closest at the end of the season wins the 25 dollar amazon gift card. Now this season the deadline for entry will be when the lockout ends! Normally I do the entry date near spring training but I think since they lockout may push things onto weird times may as well have fun with it now with no news going on!

Edit: I am changing stuff in the guesses since no one wanted to play during the lockout. Also I have agreed to donate 25 to the site as well as sending out the gift card! Lets get people playing!

Last year Cats44 Bold prediction of Shaw's season actually was able to get him the win in the end! So everything you put down counts! Let's get all you guys playing this season and see how this ends up!

Edit: okay to clarify questions, each category is for leaders of the team. WAR will essentially be the total WAR stat from baseball reference at the end of the season. If you guys can think of maybe something to add, let me know!

Anyone else want to give this a try? @Tondo @CATS44 @Stark @Steve_424

 

[CATS44]

That's why I added a few things... I mean it's predictions, so if you want to gamble on of our team leaders isn't on the roster yet, you could go for it.

Guys let's make this fun lol

 

[Cassity14]

We don't know the roster, status of guys' injuries who carried them into the lockout, and if/when games will start.

All of those factor into my predictions, so I'm in limbo.

That's fair! I was hoping to get predictions in before the lockout ends in a sense, cause I wanted to see what FA everyone thinks we will sign. This is towards @CDAV45 as well... You can edit until the lockout ends, does that sound fair to everyone? @CATS44 as well on that one. That way numbers and whatnot can be adjusted to the amount of games played...

If worse comes to worse I can remove like to FA sign Prediction in the original post. Aka I am trying to past time with all the nothing to do but wait for the millionaire vs billionaire discussions to end (saying that with some sarcasm lol)

Wouldn't surprise me at all if we have 3 (or more?) "new" regulars in the lineup once we are closing in on opening day

 

[Steve_424]

I'll predict we sign McCutchen and trade for Winker but I'll echo what everyone else has said, hard to predict more than that.

"ERA SP......Bieber (.311)"

expecting an amazing season.. historical, even...

 

[CATS44]

Yeah.

I didn't know exactly where to put that little decimal point.

Maybe it should go one spot to the right.

LOL

I think @CATS44 get an automatic win if Bieber can get anywhere close to .311 lol
