I'm surprised that the Joss/Johnson ratio isn't closer to 1:1. Also surprised that only 4 people used Tim McCabe (though I didn't, either)
7/30/2015 1:27 PM
Only five of my guys made the list.  This either makes me a genius or an idiot.

One more fun measure.  Applying the count of each player picked to each owner, I can determine what I'll call the "Cookie Factor".  The higher the number, the more "cookies" appear on a roster.

1985 World Series Hero Dane Iorg leading the charge!!!
7/30/2015 6:12 PM
I'm definitely nervous about this theme more than the others because I feel like it was likely the easiest to put together for the greatest number of owners. That, and I went without ol' Addie and feel like I overlooked Vizquel and Zobrist.
7/30/2015 6:33 PM
I am really nervous about this theme as well. when I was voting in the poll, I was equally nervous about the $70M and $80M but I voted for the $70M. Since then, my confidence in this team has plummeted.
7/30/2015 6:45 PM
I am nervous as well, worried about losing 600+ games in this WIS Championship. It is amazing how many players and teams I overlooked when putting teams together.
7/30/2015 7:28 PM
Don't think you will be losing 600 games........

Don't think you will be losing 600 games........
I may have done it before as my usual finish is somewhere in the mid-70's out of 96 owners. Losing 100 games per team is not impossible.
