Brewers Opening Day Roster Prediction Survey

[S_mCanderson]

It is that time of year again: Opening Day Roster Prediction time. I put together a survey last year. The idea was to do a weekly survey and see how the roster is shaping up as the season approaches. Last year each survey got  about 50 responses per week. I know opening day rosters are not the most important thing anymore, but they are (1) interesting and fun to predict and (2) still very meaningful considering that if certain players left off they will be out of the organization. 

Last year, the groupthink consensus predicted 25/26 players correctly, with the only miss being Brice Turang being "optioned to Chicago." This year, there are a few more question marks. Such as: was Turang so bad last year he played himself to AAA? Will Thiago Viera's optionless status ensure he makes the team? Etc. So, here is version 1 of this year's survey. There are 3, if healthy, locks that I decided to make locks for purposes of the survey. I'll see how it goes.

There is a small error with a player named Luis Ortiz being named as a lock for the opening day. I assume you meant Joey?

Yeah, i realized  my error walking through the grocery store listening to JR and Hogg. It should be fixed now. Brewers prospect of yester-year on the mind I guess

Week 2 Survey: https://forms.gle/vnuMHxnGeUefzsNj7
I replaced Joey Ortiz on the lock list with Brice Turang, added Garrett Mitchell to the lock list and removed Devin Williams. No pitcher received more than 33/39 votes, so with the removal of Williams, we now just have to pick one additional pitcher.
