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!

The deal is the winner of it, gets a 25 dollar amazon gift card and 25 dollars will be donated to RCF site! More people to play the more fun this will be! @CATS44 's bold prediction of Shaw last season netted him the win... Get votes in by like Sunday please!

Bold Guesses
In season player traded for- Tired of low scoring games, we trade desperately for a catcher AA/AAA- between Wells, Hererra, Bailey or Huff - hoping 2 of 3 catchers can be ready for 2023 (between Lava/Naylor and trade candidate).
1st Bold Prediction - As it is too late for Jose to be extended, I will go Plesac and Rosario gets traded (not that bold)
2nd Bold Prediction- Bieber gets traded at deadline to Yankees for Volpe, Dominquez and others (maybe Wells)
3rd Bold Prediction- We actually come on strong in August/September (6 wins over 500 from 10 under on July 31) when Palacios, Jones and Arias come up for Mercado (Zimmer gone in May), Bradley (Cut) and Rosario (traded).
