MAJOR LEAGUE SKILLS COMPETITION

Fifteen (15) Major League All-Stars will compete in 5 events in a decathlon type format. The winner of the competition will be declared the season 43 Major League Five Tool Champion. The winner of each event will receive fifteen (15) points and the player who finishes last will get one (1) point. The odds makers in Vegas has installed Mariano Paniagua of the Toronto Blue Jays  as the favorite to win the skills competition with  Tex Brown of the Atlanta Braves and Boots Rooney, Minnesota Twins as his biggest competition.

Note: TOP SECRET I used an analytical and scientific method to determine the winner of Major League Skills Competition and the Futures Home Run Derby. I used the dice in my APBA Baseball board game.I added the dice roll total to the players rating. My wife thinks I've lost my mind (giggling :-)
