But first we have to award the final points of the half. Last week, I asked you to use the money the Dbacks saved by not signing their first round pick to get over the breakup. The best answer, according to all of you, was...

Free beer!

Injury announcement, commenter section: I stumbled off of a deceptively-high curb and landed on my right elbow, resulting in lacerations to the elbow and fingers and bruising of my rib cage and pride. I am day-to-day...

And then the ties begin. In second place, we have a two way tie between DC and Jackwriter!

We could spend the 2.5 million updating SnakePitOne.

And in third place, another tie between DbacksEurope, GoldyHitAnotherOne, and MrMrrbi!

Buy a time machine, get back in time, undo the Shelby Miller trade, do not trade Bauer and Scherzer.

Wait, what does this have to do with 2.5M? Probably the only one from Continental Europe that is a follower of the DBacks.

And now its time to look at the first half for the last time, and your first finalist is...

Azrattler!!!!

Once again, he’ll head to the playoffs at the end of the season to face off against whoever is the finalist from the second half.

In the spirit of the All Star Break, we’re also going to take a break this week. We’ll be back next week with a new prompt and a fresh leader board. See you all there!
