GREAT JOB!
Or, as they would say in Stockholm, "bra jobbat".

Yeah, I was thinking DH's should possibly count as bench players in 2020.

Everyone who had Edwin Diaz when the 'season' began please report to
Window D to cash in your ticket.

Great job as always, now it really feels like 2020 is over Mets-wise.

I'm thinking that maybe it can be players who started fewer than half of the games. If Jake Marisnik, for example, gets a start his points would count as 'bench' points.

Then you wouldn't know to the end of the year (or month) if he had started more than half his games. A bench player might be a regular later in the year due to injuries. And what if he plays the exact same number of games as a starter and in a bench role (or DH)?
'Tis a puzzlment.

Congratulations to the winners and kudos to the scorekeeper/cardmaker!

Will the ceremony be delayed because of travel restrictions? I'd like to book my tickets.
