Adam Novak (#31), you haven't posted your prediction on question 30. I'm not going to guarantee that nobody else hasn't left one off, as I haven't systematically gone through them yet, but on a once-over, I think the rest are complete. For those wondering, yes, the higher (worse) ERA is what I'm looking for on the Peavy/Floyd question. I plan on posting my own predictions before the week is up, and then sometime shortly after the deadline, I'll tally up what everyone thinks and post what the consensus is on each question (in the comments).
