Guess who’s back. Back again. The guessing game’s back. Tell a friend. That’s right, it’s time for round three of everyone’s favorite fantasy baseball guessing game. For those of you that missed out on the first two rounds you can find out how this game works by clicking here. For those that need a refresher you should click the link too. Let me start by saying that I have proof read today’s edition tree times. That doesn’t mean there aren’t any mistakes, but at least I made an effort. In all seriousness, this should be spot on. So let’s get guessing.
In his three-year minor league career foo hit 42 home runs in 767 at bats. That’s a home run every 18.26 at bats. That rate has carried into his MLB career as he has hit a home run every 18.58 at bats during his nine years in the major leagues. In college, foo was a two-time All-American and his father’s name is Joe.
Bar got his first taste of the majors a year earlier than foo. During this short call-up, bar only played in 25 games in which he had 108 plate appearances. In those 108 plate appearances he hit just one home run and stole three bases. Since then he has hit 192 home runs and stolen 53 bases.
Foo and bar play different positions, but both bat from the same side of the plate. Both have won a Silver Slugger Award more than once.
Bar’s first major league hit was an infield single off of Oliver Perez of the Mets. Bar once had a 7-RBI game.
Foo has stolen more than 20 bases three times in his MLB career.
