Total Bases Pool (1 Viewer)

I am in a total bases pool with some friends. It's quite simple--each GM picks one player and rides that player for the season unless he gets injured.

It's a weekend pool (Friday, Saturday, Sunday and holidays) and performance is simply the players total bases for the night (does NOT include walks).

I ran a simple screen on Rotowire and got the following ranking. I have pick #25/32. Anyone that I missed? Thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

1. Mike Trout LAA OF

2. A. McCutchen PIT OF

3. Jose Abreu CWS 1B/DH

4. P. Goldschmidt ARI 1B

5. Adam Jones BAL OF

6. Anthony Rizzo CHC 1B

7. G. Stanton MIA OF

8. Miguel Cabrera DET 1B/DH

9. Yasiel Puig LAD OF

10. Josh Donaldson TOR 3B

11. Freddie Freeman ATL 1B

15. Ian Desmond WAS SS

16. Corey Dickerson COL OF

17. Nolan Arenado COL 3B

Tulo's the ultimate wildcard here. Sounds like you have an out if he gets injured. The problem lies in this being a weekend only pool. If my memory serves me correct, the guy might as well be god, because he's going to rest on the 7th day.

Sounds like you're basically looking for a lottery ticket at pick #25. Id probably be looking at a bounce-back candidate. CarGo, Harper, Chris Davis, Prince, Jay Bruce, etc.

Thanks!

Anyone have an opinion between Steamer's and Pecota's projections?
Here's a breakdown of how they fared last year...

Evaluating Projections

They're pretty close. Best bet would probably be to average the rotowire ones you have with the other 2.

Do you have weekly match-ups with another owner and then an overall winner or is it just winner takes all?
