Team Kipper: PSD Vs PSF Monthly Precition Contest - April

By Kipper @pghsportsforum
This is the first month of the monthly team prediction contest. I have opted to create two threads so it will be easy to tell who is supposed to answer which question but the both teams are answering the same ones. For your team the monthly questions will be listed in three sections, hitting questions, pitching/defense questions and team and misc questions. We will rotate who answers which section on a monthly basis. All of you will also be asked to answer a free for all question. The scoring for each question is outlined after the question itself. The first 7 questions are worth a maximum of 3 points a piece, question 8 is worth potentially 5 points and the free for all question is worth a total of 4 points. Feel free to either post your answers here or private message them to me. Good luck to all.
