I find it interesting there's no Rondon, LaPorta, or Chisenhall.
What an amazing turnaround for Weglarz. Congrats to them both.
You can't have more than two players from any organisation.... that will go some way to explaining some of those omissions Zaj.
Also, I don't know for definate, but I'd be surprised if players could participate more than once..... both LaPorta and Rondon played in last years game.
And whaddya know, my #1 and #2 prospects coming into the year.:-)
DSLewis: I realize you can only have two. Weglarz comes as a surprise for me. I'm for Santana.. but.
And you can play more than once.
