Here we go!

Welcome, new poolies! Welcome back, old hands. BPP 2016 is now underway!

A few notes before I huck the laptop into my bag:

- we don't appear to have any dupe slates, somehow, despite some very popular picks like...

- Kris Bryant (our most popular) and Max "Ol' Husky-Eye" Scherzer (most popular pitcher pick, trailing KB by just one)

- y'all seem equally dubious about Washington (only four players represented) and Cleveland

BPP veterans well know that betting with your heart (i.e., on the Cubs) frequently sees a decimated pool population by Week 2, but almost nobody DOESN'T have a Cubbeenie on his/her roster, so let's hope things go differently this year, for a bunch of reasons.

Any early nominations for the Shane Victorino Memorial "THAT Guy?!" pick nobody made? Somebody wised up and picked Justin Turner this year so he's out (hi Lauren!). It's going to be some goddamn backup catcher, I bet.

Snap of the picks after the jump. Good luck, everyone!

I very much enjoy that Reid's slates are divided into "Hate" and "Love". Sports!
