Only thirteen amazing Amazin Avenue community members stepped up to the challenge to put their predictive powers to the test; these extraordinary basement dwellers were:

The resident Matt Den Dekker optimist: Joel Hernandez
James "Don't Mess with Jim" Ubriaco

Former NY Met: Manic "Kevin" McReynolds! (I do not have evidence that disputes or supports this claim)
The anti-#BlameBeltran: blame-everyone-else
Can you believe that guy: birdmansns
Everyone's favorite dog face: stickguy!
knicksislanders3380? No.... metsgiants3380!
The UNFORGETTABLE Baton Rogue bad boy: LSUtoast
and... introducing a new comer/ AA lurker: slk8890
Also - I am playing.
OK. Now that that nonsense is done with, I just wanted to thank everyone for participating. Please use this thread for questions, trash-talk, interweb niceties, and so forth. I will update the post periodically if/or when an answer is final and we have updated rankings.
I have a spreadsheet created so that you can also follow at home:
Prizes!
There will be prizes awarded - but I want to check with Eric Simon if he'd be cool with me putting the AA logo on something.
Some Quick Observations (keep in mind that entries were due a few weeks ago):
- Half of us think the Mets will come in 3rd. All of us spend way too much time on the internet.
- Almost everyone thinks that Harvey will only get 0 or 1 start at any level this season, and that makes me sad.
-James K and Joel were the only people who think that Ike will have a better offensive season (as measured by wRC+) than Duda. Lash out at them for their disloyalty in the comment section below!
- LOL has gone from meaning "laugh out load" to "I have nothing else to say"
Alright. That's all for now. Good Luck Everyone, and Let's Go Me!
