The most popular incorrect answer was played by 8 contestants. Craig Kimbrel didn't have a job heading into the season, but people thought he'd sign fairly soon and be his usual dominant self. Unfortunately, the league waited him out until after the draft was over in June before he signed with the Cubs. He's got 6 saves on the year so far.

The remaining incorrects are would-be ace-hunters. Jordan Hicks was off to a great start, with 14 saves, before succumbing to the dreaded Tommy John surgery.

Oops, one more incorrect. David Robertson is on the 60 day IL for the Phillies, and has zero saves.

This question's SHEEP answer was played by 9 contestants. Edwin Diaz racked up a boatload of saves last season, and while he's had some shaky outings for his new team the Mets, he's managed to lock down the 9th 21 times.

Our next most popular correct answer was played by 5 players. Brad Hand is another closer who's taken to his new digs with aplomb, as he has 27 saves for the Indians.

Our next corrects are a trio of 2-point answers. Aroldis Chapman has somehow never had a 40-save season. Maybe this is the year, as he has 25 for the Yankees so far.

Our next correct is Kenley Jansen. He's been very good for the Dodgers for a long time, and he has 24 saves.

Our final 2-point correct is your major league leader in saves, Kirby Yates. Is he on the trade block now? I guess we'll find out in the next two weeks. For now, he has 31 saves, and 70 K's vs 9 BB in 43 innings.

Question 14 closes with 3 aces. A homer pick comes in for the ace! Alex Colome has held on to the job all year, and managed 21 saves for the White Sox.

Our next ace is the reliable closer for the Nationals, Sean Doolittle. He also has 21 saves.

Our final ace is someone who's leveled up this past offseason. Last year Shane Greene had a bunch of saves, but with a shaky WHIP and ERA. This year, he's been dominant, with 22 saves, a 0.86 WHIP, and 1.25 ERA. Another homer ace!

8 people picking Kimbrel is amusing to me.

****, I am behind txdome. I am clearly doing something wrong.

Wait, can you check your spreadsheets? One has txdome at 120, the other (sidebet) has him at 104.

All I see different is his question 8 answer.

Which is one of the questions I reviewed. In which he did get 18 points and not 5.

I got 2nd overall the year the Astros won the WS, don't be so surprised.

The top spreadsheet is indeed off. Let me check which one is correct so TJ doesn't have to bother. Give me an hour. I remember I did **** up in my initial submission and had to resend. If I have to forfeit the buy-in, no big deal.
