MLB 2017 PEEHS - Page 19 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Also played by 2 contestants, including yours truly, is a guy I just couldn't quit. I selected Kyle Hendricks for this question last year too, thinking he's a good bet to rack up wins, but the Cubbies have only been around .500 instead of being among the best teams in MLB so far.

The remaining incorrects are would-be aces. Our next incorrect is everyone's favorite loveable Big Fat Bartolo Colon. I sure wish he had 5 wins, but alas, he only has 2. I'd settle for him getting his ERA back under 6.

Our next incorrect is Carlos Martinez. He just got paid this offseason, and the deal seems to make sense for both sides. He's been pretty good this year, but only has 3 wins.

Our next incorrect is a cautionary tale for filling out an entry too early. I appreciate the interest and getting entries in quickly, but David Price has yet to pitch in a game this season. He might be back next week, though, which is good news for Red Sox fans.

Another incorrect, another injured pitcher. I really hope Felix Hernandez returns to form, because he's one of my favorite pitchers when he's going well. As it stands, he has 2 wins.

Our next incorrect is a guy bouncing back from a tough year last year. Gerrit Cole has definitely been better, but still not good enough for this question, with 2 wins. Hopefully he stays at 2, as he's going against my Braves tonight.

Our next incorrect is Jake Odorizzi. Will he ever harness his strikeout stuff and become a dominant pitcher? Who knows, but for now he has 3 wins.

Our next incorrect was in the process of breaking out until the dreaded forearm strain. James Paxton has 3 wins.

Our next incorrect is another injury that never got a chance to get started. Junior Guerra threw 3 innings in the first week of the season, and hasn't been back since. He's expected to be reactivated soon, which is good for the Brewers.

Our final incorrect is a blatant homer pick. Rick Porcello stole that Cy Young from Mr. and Mrs. Verlander last year, surely some regression was due! Anyway, Porcello has 2 wins.

This question's SHEEP answer is worth 4 points. Another year, and Clayton Kershaw is just doing Clayton Kershaw things, as he leads the NL in wins, with 7.

Our next corrects are a pair of 3 point answers. Yu Darvish makes for an interesting trade piece this summer, but the Rangers have been pretty hot lately so they won't want to sell yet. Either way, he looks to make a ton of money this offseason. He has 5 wins.

Our other 3-point correct is Masahiro Tanaka. As a fantasy owner, I've been less than thrilled by all the homers he's given up. Then I remembered that the Yankees have an 8 foot tall homer monster themselves, and now it kinda makes sense that he has 5 wins.

Our next correct is worth 2 points. Jake Arrieta seems to have taken a step back this year, but he's still the Cubs' unquestioned ace. He has 5 wins, and congrats to Cruizn for being the last player to get out of the Trollface Memorial Club!

Question 5 closes with a pair of aces. My Braves did their very best to deny Stephen Strasburg his 5th win, but on the heels of his 11 strikeout effort, he did indeed get that 5th win in just before the buzzer yesterday.

Our final ace is Zack Greinke. That contract isn't looking *better,* but we'll say it looks less bad after an early spring velocity scare. He's back to form and has 5 wins.

With a SHEEP score of 4, and 6 correct answers submitted, incorrects will receive a score of 10 for this question.
