My guy is on the DL and I did not get this next one wrong. Leggo!

This question was quite the bloodbath, even with lots of qualifiers.

There were 33 incorrect answers, and 24 correct answers.

We'll start by reviewing the incorrects first.

Our most popular incorrect was played by 7 contestants. Whit Merrifield had a nice year in stolen bases last year, but only has 1 so far in the early going.

Our next most popular incorrect was played by 6 contestants. Delino DeShields Jr. broke his left hamate bone and has been on the DL, only amassing 7 plate appearances so far this season.

Our next incorrect is a guy who's usually a lock for this question. Much to my consternation in fantasy, Jose Altuve is still getting on base at a great clip. However, he has zero home runs and only 1 steal so far.

Our next incorrect was played by yours truly. I make my entry before I start the thread, because I don't want the answers I'm uploading to interfere with the integrity of the game. My pick for this question was GONNA BE AN ACE! ...And then Vilica blew it for me. Actually, Bradley Zimmer blew it for himself, as he only has 3 steals so far.

Also played by two people, our next incorrect is Eduardo Nunez. After swiping 24 bags last season, he has zero so far this season.

Now we're down to the would-be ace hunters. Brett Gardner was a sneaky correct for this question last year, but this year, he only has 1 thievery on the season so far.

Our next incorrect is Jarrod Dyson. The man who gave us the memorable quote "that's what speed do" is off to a cold start, hitting .174. He does have 2 steals so far though.

Our next incorrect is Jose Reyes. Older fantasy veterans will remember when Reyes was a lock first rounder, as he has an impressive 513 steals for his career, with 4 campaigns over 56 steals. Unfortunately, these days he's a part-time player, and only has 1 steal so far, which he got yesterday.

Our next incorrect is Kyle Schwarber. He's OPS'ing over .950 at the moment, but has zero steals so far.

Our next incorrect is the Marlins' top prospect, the jewel of the Yelich trade, Lewis Brinson. He's having a rough go of it adjusting to The Show, though, and has 1 steal so far.

Our final incorrect is former Braves prospect Mallex Smith. He's finally hitting this year for the Rays, but he bubbles for this question, with 3 steals.

This question's SHEEP answer is worth 9 points. I was the only picker last year for Trea Turner, and the bum hurt his hammy and bubbled for me for this question last year. He didn't slip under the radar for this question this season, though, as he has 8 swipes on the young season, tied for 2nd in MLB

Our next most popular correct was played by 5 contestants. Dee Gordon has moved to center field, and he's taking to it with aplomb. He's got 9 steals, tops in MLB so far.

Our next corrects are a trio of 3-point answers. A.J. Pollock is off to a nice start, and his talent was never in question, just his health. Let's hope for our resident Dbacks fans that he stays healthy, as I think he's fun to watch. Pollock has 5 steals so far.

Also played by 3 players is Billy Hamilton. He still can't steal first base, as he's hitting a cool .180, but he does have 4 steals so far.

Also played by 3 contestants, we have the fastest man in the majors, according to Statcast's Sprint Speed (powered by Amazon Web Services). Byron Buxton just barely makes it for this question, with 4 steals.

Our next correct was played by 2 people. Jonathan Villar either wins you a fantasy league by himself, or blows a huge 3rd round hole in your team, depending which year you got him. He's somewhere in the middle so far this season, with 4 steals so far.
