Only 1 mil off on Grandal and only a year and 2 mil off on Will Smith... pretty impressive.

Overall not terrible. Biggest misses were Bumgarner (terrible projections by me), Did (who took the shorter offer to rebuild value), and Ozuna.

Overall I did pretty well.  Estimates on Bumgarner, Ozuna, Hamels, Didi and Moustakas were pretty off, but the rest I either nailed or was in the ball park.  I still do find the Bum, Ozuna, Didi and Mous deals pretty strange either for player or team.  In hindsight, not sure what I was thinking with Hamels. Was pretty short on Cole as well.  

Fun little game, glad I participated.
