              “The Game”

              ✅ Cincinnati Reds RF

              ✅ Cincinnati Reds LF

              ✅ Colorado Rockies SS

              ✅ Ian Desmond

              ✅ Colorado Rockies 1B

              Projected WAR for Rockies 1B is 0.4 (not 1.5 per Kyle's guess)
              🚫 Baltimore Orioles SS

              Bonus rambling:

              Nationals SS is not Avisaíl García

              Boston SS: Xander Bogaerts

              Phillies SS: Didi Gregorius
              San Diego Padre OF/1B: Wil Myers
