MLB 2017 PEEHS - Page 22 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Our next incorrect is Jose Bautista. It's hard to say who's been worse since Odor clocked him good, as they've both been pretty bad. Bautista bubbles for this question, with 11 home runs.

Our next incorrect is Evan Longoria. A mainstay among power numbers leaders during his prime, Longo seems to have slowed down a step as he ages. He has 9 home runs this year.

Our next incorrect is another player who was excellent in his youth, and has been up and down as he ages. Hanley Ramirez has 8 home runs.

Our next incorrect is another guy who's been murdering my fantasy team. I pulled the trigger on Kyle Seager in the 3rd round, thinking he was as safe as it gets at a deep position. He's been brutal to start, but better lately. Hopefully it continues. Anyway, he has 7 home runs.

Our next incorrect is Tommy Joseph. A power prospect headed into the year, Joseph has upside but is unproven. He has 10 home runs on the season.

Our final incorrect is another player who missed time to injury. Yoenis Cespedes was activated off the DL just in time to hit a grand slam vs. my Braves a couple days ago. He has 7 home runs this season.

This question's SHEEP answer is worth 7 points. Nolan Arenado is a pretty safe bet for power numbers, and he has 14 homers this season.

Our next corrects are a trio of 2-point answers. Anthony Rizzo weathered a rough start to rebound nicely, as he has 13 home runs.

Also played by 2 contestants, we have Giancarlo Stanton. The power was never in question, just the health, as it always seems to be for him. He has 16 round-trippers so far.

Our final 2-point correct is Manny Machado. He's also not living up to his lofty standards, but he does have 12 home runs, squeaking in for this question.

Question 7 closes with a whopping TEN aces. We'll kick them off with yours truly! Khris Davis had a monster breakout season last year, and while the average may never be good, the power sure is. He has 17 homers this season.

Our next correct is the perfectly quaffed clown question, Bryce Harper. Bro has 15 homers.

Our next correct is a late bloomer who even made the Home Run Derby last year. We can count on our resident Reds fan to keep an eye on him. Adam Duvall has kept it up, as he has 15 home runs.

Another guy who barely squeaked by for this question, the advanced metrics aren't looking great for the aging Edwin Encarnacion. The K's are way up, and FB and hard hit are down in the first year of a big deal. He has managed to hit exactly 12 homers so far, though.

You felt correctly!

It's tough to figure who's a better MVP candidate for the Snakes, the un-guessed Goldy or the completely legit Jake Lamb.

Brag: Lamb has 16 homers this year.
Beat: Still can't hit lefties.
Variance: It's okay because most people are right-handed.
