Thanks. I think I have them counted up, And I want to thank everyone for being concerned about me. I have been working for about three hours now, checking and double checking. I hope my calculations will be accurate. I hated doing James vander Beek because thirty players had him. The only bandwagon pick I would LIKE doing is you know who. ---
