Check not online, but tell me who led the New Orleans Zephs in 2007 in the following categories: Batting OBP SLG OPS HR RBI SB Wins Losses SO ERA Saves Games Oldest Zeph? Youngest Zeph?

I'll guess that the oldest was Sandy Junior.

Batting-- Ambres OBP -- Ambres SLG -- Tatis OPS -- Ambres HR -- Tatis RBI -- Tatis SB -- Gomez Wins -- Humber Losses -- Humber SO -- Humber ERA -- Collazo Saves -- Collazo Games -- Collazo Oldest Zeph? Alomar Youngest Zeph? Gomez

The Zephyrs, I might as well mention, used to play in Denver and were bumped out of their former home when the current NL champs entered the National League. Denver Zephyrs was supposed to be the name of a major league expansion franchise, but the group who owned the Zephyrs didn't win the franchise when it was granted for the 1993 expansion.

Yancy: I'll guess that the oldest was Sandy Junior. Correct for five pints. Baseball age of 41. JCL: Batting-- Ambres WRONG! OBP -- Ambres WRONG! SLG -- Tatis =green]CORRECT! Fernando slugged .485 OPS -- Ambres WRONG! HR -- Tatis WRONG! RBI -- Tatis WRONG! SB -- Gomez =green]CORRECT! CarBo swiped 17. Wins -- Humber =green]CORRECT! Humber won 11 Losses -- Humber =green]CORRECT! Humber lost 9! SO -- Humber =green]CORRECT! Humber fanned 120 hapless PCL batters. ERA -- Collazo WRONG! Need I say that we're looking for a title quallifier here? Saves -- Collazo WRONG! Games -- Collazo SO WRONG! Oldest Zeph? Alomar =green]CORRECT! But too late. Youngest Zeph? Gomez =green]CORRECT! CarGo was 21, baseball-wise. Using the new CranePool Kwizmaster scoring system (five for a correct answer, mius two for an incorrecto), that's 14 points.

HR and RBI - soon-to-be 34-year-old Andy Tracy.

Vlad lies low and snags 10 points just like that! Tracy hit 23 homers and 87 RBI, leading the Zephs as well as the Partridge Family.

Would the ERA lead have gone to Humber also? And I'd figure Tracy got the OPS title also. Anderson Hernandez for BA? I seem to remember him hitting well.

Edgy DC Oct 24 2007 12:11 PM

Correct. Ten points for the Seawolf.

I remember seeing Ivan Maldonado pick up a few saves in the box scores over the course of the season. I'll go with him, even though NO really had a closer by committee.

Edgy DC Oct 24 2007 06:13 PM

Ivan Maldonado is CORRECT for five.

seawolf17 Oct 24 2007 09:44 PM

Who the hell is Ivan Maldonado? You made him up.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Oct 24 2007 09:56 PM

He's a young guy

seawolf17 Oct 25 2007 04:39 AM

Everybody! Aaaaawwwwwwwwwww.....

Don't be fooled. That kid cheats at SCRABBLE. Meanwhile, who led the team in pitching appearances?

Farmer Ted Oct 25 2007 08:01 AM

That kid is one helluva mud eater, too. I'm betting that shirt stayed white and starched for about six minutes tops.
