2010 Playoffs Contest: Last Call

As of this morning I've gotten 14 1/2 entries for the Playoffs Contest, with just a few hours left to enter (still waiting on Dustin to pick a different pitcher this morning). 

Since the first game is 1:37 pm today, that will be the close of entries.

I expected more Yankees hitters to have been taken at this point, but it appears that the Phillies seem to be the popular HR pick.  Not surprisingly, closers have been popular picks for the final SO, with 7 of 8 being taken already (Cordero for Cincy is still available). Some of the more popular starters have been chosen, along with a reliever or two.  There are still a ton of good players left - Votto, Jeter, Cano, A-Rod, Posey, Upton, Cruz, etc.  And of course, there are still some good pitchers out there, too.  Lincecum, anyone?

Leave me a comment below or on the Playoffs Contest page to enter.
