@apba-go-jeremy Did I miss a pick? LOL!!!

[APBA GO Jeremy]

@buffalohead Yeah :( Apparently you’re convinced Andrew McCutchen will be unemployed in 2019.

[BuffaloHead]

@apba-go-jeremy Well he hasn’t been the same since he cut his hair…

[Backstreets]

@buffalohead or got married…take your pick.

@APBA-GO-Jeremy I know you’re busy with today’s release, so just to make sure it doesn’t slip past you, Hyun-Jin Ryu accepted his qualifying offer and will be back with the Dodgers.

[APBA GO Jeremy]

@jluckhau Thanks! My APBA minion hadn’t updated me yet, so I appreciate the heads up.

@apba-go-jeremy Fun! I took a bunch of guesses but I hope I get a few credits. :)

For those interested, I thought I’d post the community picks based on the majority of submissions for each Free Agent.

In the chart, Tie means there was an equal number of picks for both teams.

I’ll update this chart as we go, too:

@apba-go-jeremy Those can’t be right, Jeremy. Reds owner Bob Castellini said (and I quote) “We’re going to get the pitching.” So, basically, every one of those pitchers should be going to Cincinnati. I understand though, it’s an easy mistake to make.

[APBA GO Jeremy]

@jluckhau I don’t judge, I just post! ;)

[TigerScott]

@apba-go-jeremy I can see a lot of these picks missing as a group. Maybe I will get a couple right.

[APBA GO Jeremy]

@tigerscott Following the pack does not always lead to success ;)

[APBA GO Jeremy]

Josh Donaldson - 1 Year, Atlanta Braves

[RandySteinman]

For the record (and I know it’s early), this is the first time I have ever been on top of a sports-related pool in my life… ;)

[dbacknate]

Jeremy, when do we get the credits for our correct picks?

[APBA GO Jeremy]

@dbacknate At the contest’s conclusion.

[dbacknate]

Thank you!

[APBA GO Jeremy]

Patrick Corbin - 6 years, $140 million

Nobody made that pick; no points awarded.
