Over Easter weekend I am going to run a Back from the Dead Mini-Tournament. What do I mean by that?
I am taking the 4 worst full-season Minnesota Twins teams in the history of the franchise and running them through a 4 team best of 5 bracket tourney. Winner gets redemption.
Those teams, ranked from worst to best are, with their top player by WAR, Rotation, and Pen:
2016 Twins 59-103 #4 seed
Brian Dozier 6.5
Roto:

Santiago Cw

Chicago Selection Saturday
The Chicagoland APBA Tournament run by Rob Spatz is a fantastic tourney run by one of the outstanding individuals in the APBA community, and now he has added another event, Selection Saturday!
The summer Chicagoland teams must have a winning percentage below .556.
I have selected the 2008 Minnesota Twins! At 88-74 they should be a solid team.
Mauer .328/.451/.413
Morneau .300/.499/.374
Gomez stole 33
Fielding 1 no matter what pitching moves I make.
My "Ace": Scotty Baker Bxz
The Terminator: Joe Nathan A&C*kz
