Prognostikeggers 2012: Spring Training Challenge - Week 3 Review / Start of Week 4

Aramis Ramirez is almost ready for the regular season.  Are you?
Aramis Ramirez is almost ready for the regular season. Are you?

Do you believe that spring training means something? If you do, then the regular season front runner has emerged.

For the third straight week, bjThorson has emerged as the winner of the week. It was also the first time there was a a solo winner for a week in spring training. With a six-point lead entering the last week of spring training, bjThorson has a great shot at winning the spring training title. The only question that remains is how much that means to you.

We are entering the final week of spring training, and the final "week" will actually be a week and a half, covering all of the games through the remainder of spring training. This is your last chance to fine tune your prediction style before the regular season starts. If there's anything else you want to work on, now is the time to do it.

Just a quick note here as well this week. I changed the formulas I use for tracking scoring to a more complex formula that will make it easier to update scoring. The only reason I bring it up is in case I made a mistake. Just check your scoring each week to make sure everything adds up correctly. As a reminder, it is up to you to bring up any scoring mistakes. I will make every effort to make sure scoring is correct, but I do make mistakes.

With that, let's start the last week of the spring training challenge.
