My Predictions

Will David Ortiz have the lead in the AL HR standings at any time this season?

Settled as No

Finished 21st.
Never led.

http://mlb.mlb.com/stats/sortable_player_stats.jsp?statType=1&statType=Overview&teamPosCode=all&timeFrame=1&c_id=mlb&sitSplit=&venueID=§ion1=null&Submit=Submit&subScope=teamCode&baseballScope=AL&timeSubFrame=2008&&sortByStat=HR

Background:

After a very slow start, Big Papi has gotten back into the groove. He's now tied with Hamilton of Texas for second in the AL Home Run race with 12. Will he catch up and pass Chicago's Quentin who has 14 now and take the lead.

To settle the question, all he has to do is be in the lead or tied for the lead at anytime this season. We'll set a suspension date for the question as July 15, the date of the All Star game.


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.

He is currently tied at 16 for the lead. Shouldn't this be settled?

Do you have a settlement source? If so, you should request settlement by clicking on the "Request Settlement" link (located under "Make Your Prediction").

At mlb.com, I see:
C Quentin (CWS) 14
J Hamilton (TEX) 13
D Ortiz (BOS) 12

<http://mlb.mlb.com/stats/league_leaders.jsp?c_id=mlb&baseballScope=AL&statType=1&sortByStat=HR&timeSubFrame3=&timeSubFrame=2008&Submit=Submit&timeFrame=1>

but if you have different information that shows Ortiz tied at 16, you ought request settlement, with a link to that information.
