Team PSF Predicition Contest

By Kipper @pghsportsforum
Due to the fact no team had a full slate of answers for the month of April I am changing the rules of the contest mid stream. The two teams from this forum will now be combined into one unit, Team PSF. I will ask five questions a month that everyone will answer and the average result will be compared against the average result of team PSD.
As for April the month will still count but with some changes
Hitting Questions
1. Which Pirate hitter will have the most strikeouts in the month of April and how many will they have? (1 point for the correct player, 1 point for being within 2, 1 point for the *best answer)
2. Which Pirate will hit the team’s first home run of the season? (3 points for the correct answer)
3. How many stolen bases will the outfield trio of Marte, McCutchen and Polanco have in April? (1 point for being within 1, 1 additional point for an exact answer, 1 point for being the closest)*
Pitching/Defense Questions
4. Which relief pitcher will have the most strikeouts in April and how many will they have? (1 point for the correct player, 1 point for being within 2, 1 point for the *best answer)
5. Which Pirates starting pitcher will be the first to complete 7 full innings in a start? (3 points for the correct answer)
6. How many stolen bases will the Pirates allow in April? (1 point for being within 1, 1 additional point for an exact answer, 1 point for being the closest)
Team/Misc Questions
7. Who will finish with more PA in April the Pirates pitchers or the combination of Sean Rodriguez and Chris Stewart and how many PA will the winning side have? (2 points for picking the right group, 1 point for being within 3 PA)
8. How many games will the Pirates win in the month of April? (1 point for being within 2, 2 additional points for being within 1, 1 additional point for an exact answer, 1 point for the closest answer)

Free For All - Everyone
9. How many times as a team will the Pirates strikeout in April? (3 points for the closest team average, 1 point for the closest individual answer)
Questions 7 and 8 have been eliminated as has the one point awarded for the closest answer in the free for all question. For the remainder of the questions the answers provided by the two teams have been combined. Below are the results.
1. Andrew McCutchen, 17
2. Starling Marte
3. 10
4. Tony Watson, 15
5. Francisco Liriano/Gerrit Cole (as the answer was Jon Niese this doesn't really matter)
6. 11 (average of 8 and 14)
7. N/A
8. N/A
9. 192, 75, 165, 180, 132 for an average of 148.8
I apologize for changing the rules mid game here but its what I have to work with.
