Just filled out the form. Hopefully I will have better luck than last year!

[Pawishman]

My submission is in.

[RandySteinman]

I’m late to the party, but I’m in. And I don’t feel too bad… because I would never have pegged Moustakas for Cincinnati anyway…

[TigerScott]

@randysteinman and as a 2b at that.

@apba-go-jeremy Got a couple of more signings today and I am still striking out.

[ryandan77]

Wow, I’m already 2 for 3 somehow (just missing on Moose). How do I see what I submitted?

[APBA GO Jeremy]

@ryandan77 I tried posting a table of the entries, but it kind of breaks the forum page because it’s so large. I’ll try to come up with something now that entries have closed. I’ll post the solution here, whatever it is.

[APBA GO Jeremy]

Hi,

A request to view entries was made, and the best solution I can come up with is to post a .pdf of a table.

It’s kind of lame, but you can see the selections you made for each free agent:

Hoping the sharing settings work!

[ChuckC]

Please delete my 2nd entry. I had made it because i didnt realize my 1st went in because i couldnt see it on the list. Thanks, Chuckc

[APBA GO Jeremy]

@chuckc No worries, I take the first entry by default for all duplicates.

[APBA GO Jeremy]

Gerrit Cole signs!

Closest Contract Prediction goes to:

Dodger300 - 9-year, $340 million

Stay tuned for more updates,
Jeremy

Congrats to kweber, BallOne and ColdPredator for being the only participants to correctly pick Anthony Rendon signing with the Angels!

[RandySteinman]

@apba-go-jeremy
This is not going well for me. I had pegged Cole, not Rendon, going to the Angels.
And with Cole signing with New York, that almost guarantees my Bumgarner-to-the-Yanks pick will also be wrong.
Great contest again this year. But I’m in need of a minor miracle right now… Haha…

[APBA GO Jeremy]

Congrats to BallOne, the only contestant to pick Madison Bumgarner signing with Arizona.

BallOne takes the lead!

[APBA GO Jeremy]

First place got a lot more crowded with the Keuchel and Ryu signings.

[APBA GO Jeremy]

MikeW pulls ahead on Edwin Encarnación’s signing with the White Sox!

[APBA GO Jeremy]

BradB3030 made the right choice for Josh Donaldson… but no one else did!

Finally, some action!

[APBA GO Jeremy]

Marcel Ozuna’s signing with Atlanta creates a tie for first place, and leaves just two Free Agents unsigned.

Congratulations to Timdig and Paramids for selecting Atlanta.

[APBA GO Jeremy]

Nick Castellanos signs with Cincinnati, and six people picked correctly!

Contest leadership didn’t change, meaning it all comes down to Puig.

We’re almost done!
