Jeff Boggis’ impressive 172.6 points easily won the final week of Period 3 but it wasn’t enough to secure a Golden Ticket. Finishing behind Boggis this week were Bret Sayre and Gene McCaffrey. Sayre, from Baseball Prospectus, finished as the Period 3 winner, securing a spot in the Tout Daily Survivor Finals as well as a T-shirt from Rotowear.
Boggis knew coming into the week he’d need a big score to make a run at a Golden Ticket and he did his part. Unfortunately, a lot of the Touts were also on a Coors stack, and although Jeff got homers from the less-popular Kolten Wong and Kole Calhoun, it still wasn’t enough. In order to click in some of the higher priced Rockies, Boggis deployed the duo of Mike Clevinger and Cole Hamels, hitting pay dirt with each.
Joining Sayre with Period 3 Golden Tickets are Rotogrinder’s Derek Carty and USA Today’s Steve Gardner. Fantasy Alarm’s Rick Wolf leapfrogged Todd Zola into the top overall spot in the race for the wild card entry into the finals. Check out where your favorite Tout stands on the Leaderboard.
Here’s a list of everyone with a Golden Ticket so far: Clay Link (2), Zola (2), Wolf, Ray Murphy, Sayre, Carty and Gardner.
The end of one period signals the beginning of the next so please stop by next Tuesday afternoon as the Touts will share their picks to kick off Period 4.
