Making Your '00 Face: Setup Man

It's time to select another player for the BCB All Decade Team. Here are the players we've selected so far:

First Base: Prince Fielder
Second Base: Rickie Weeks
Shortstop: J.J. Hardy
Third Base: Bill Hall
Corner Outfield: Ryan Braun
Center Field: Mike Cameron
Corner Outfield: Geoff Jenkins
Catcher: Damian Miller
Bench IF: Craig Counsell
Bench C: Mike Rivera
Bench COF: Carlos Lee
Bench OF: Scott Podsednik
Bench 1B: Richie Sexson

#1 SP: Ben Sheets
#2 SP:  CC Sabathia
Closer: Francisco Cordero
LOOGY: Brian Shouse

Voting for our #3 starter opened yesterday and will close at 4 pm tomorrow. Today we'll select the third member of our bullpen. I've limited the nominees to pitchers who either pitched in at least 100 games or pitched at least 100 innings as a Brewer, while appearing as a reliever in at least 80% of their games. A few relatively popular Brewers didn't make enough appearances to make the cut. If you feel they belong in the running, give them a write in vote in the comments, and any pitcher receiving at least five write in votes will appear on future ballots.

Follow the jump for the nominees' stats, then vote in the poll below.

I'm not voting.

I don’t want to pick between Ray King & Matt Wise. Puke.

I was drunk. Sue me.

I'm voting, but...

Todd Coffey. NOW. He’s our favorite 8th Inning Guy™, right?

Also, that list has a heck of a lot of long relievers/swingmen and failed closers on it.

by morineko on Dec 27, 2009 4:10 PM CST reply actions  

Ok, so we have three write in votes for Todd Coffey.

Anyone else?

That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.

by Kyle Lobner on Dec 27, 2009 5:23 PM CST reply actions  

I'd vote for Coffey

I would retract my Kolb vote

and vote for Coffey.

I would retract my Vizcaino vote...

… and put it towards Kolb, or whomever else might be gaining votes, if only to keep T-Bow off the team. But I would have likely voted for Coffey or Hoffman if they had been available.

If Cordero is closing...

I should think Hoffman would make an excellent setup man.

Can we put Hoffman back in the voting?

Or is he off the team since he missed the cut at closer? (And didn’t reach 100 games as a Brewer?)

by Cheeseandcorn on Dec 27, 2009 10:16 PM CST reply actions  

Agreed about returning Hoffman

C. Magruder scored, R. Weeks to second on balk

by alkaseitzer on Dec 28, 2009 3:14 AM CST up reply actions  

He's off

Sorry.

by Charlie Marlow on Dec 28, 2009 8:49 AM CST up reply actions  

Ok, as of right now I've got the required five votes for Coffey.

I’m also seeing three votes for Trevor Hoffman, who was left off the ballot because he hasn’t pitched in 100 games as a Brewer, and one for Salomon Torres.

That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.

by Kyle Lobner on Dec 28, 2009 6:29 AM CST reply actions  

Wow tie

I don’t get the hate for Turbo. The guy was amazing for a year and a half as a closer and then pretty good for another full year as a setup man.

E: George 4 (5, throw, throw, throw, throw).

by Jordan M on Dec 28, 2009 11:58 PM CST reply actions  

I don't really understand the votes for Coffey

He was around for a season plus two weeks. Chad Fox should probably get some of those votes, too.

Ah well, I threw my vote away on Valerio de los Santos so I can’t really complain.

by TheJay on Dec 29, 2009 7:34 AM CST up reply actions  

Turbo

He’ll probably always be remembered for his massive collapse as opposed to his great closer year.
