Gekko's Q and A '08_contest_WEEK_1

[Gordon Gekko]

Here we are folks…WEEK 1 of Gekko's Q & A '08 contest



Quick Background: Every Monday (from now until the end of February), I will post a fantasy baseball question in this forum. The question will be “open” for one week. Anyone and everyone can respond to the question with their best answer, along with whatever supporting information they have to bolster their answer. Come the following Monday, myself and our very own Stephen Jupinka (better known as Quahogs) will review all the answers and pick a “first-place”, as well as an “honorable mention”. How will we judge your answers and ultimately pick the winners? Our criteria for selection include:

(1) your answer

(2) the supporting information you used

(3) originality



Please note: It’s okay to use the same answer as a prior poster, but you need to provide better supporting information if you want to win. In addition, you can win multiple weeks, so go ahead and play every week!!



Prizes: Each week, two separate prizes are available. The weekly “first-place” winner gets to choose either a free copy of the Baseball Forecaster or a one in seven chance at a free entry into a 2008 $125 NFBC satellite league. The weekly “honorable mention” receives whichever prize the “first place” winner doesn’t choose.



On to the Week 1 Question...

Considering all of the pitchers (starters and relievers), who have yet to throw a major league pitch in their career, which one will make the biggest impact in 2008 and why?



Good luck!
