The first part of Round 2 had some upsets and I think there are many more possibilities in part 2.  In these matchups, we get to re-live the acquisitions of such Royal greats as Yuniesky Betancourt, Tony Pena, Jr., Mike Jacobs, Jeff Francoeur, Jason Kendall and Yasuhiko Yabuta.  Some great players and tremendous contracts.  Good times...
