Cancel vote for Kieschnick, I have a write-in.

Russell freaking Branyan. The team can do without one more pitcher.

How did I miss Hoffman on there.

"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."

Correct

Hoffman hasn’t appeared in 100 games as a Brewer. Several votes ago, I asked for write in votes to earn spots on future ballots. Coffey got enough write in votes, Hoffman didn’t.

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

Matt Wise gets my vote

This is like voting criteria for BBWAA awards.

My criteria includes the fact that he played more than one season out of the entire decade on our team. I would have also voted for Ray King.

"If we want to sign a Type A free agent, we would lose a second-round pick, but we don't have a way to get picks back. Our whole Draft process needs to be redone."

I think this is the fifth straight time I've voted for Wise.

Actually, might be the sixth time.

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

Me too

I feel like a teenage girl calling the American Idol number.

surprised so far

I thought David Bush was a fairly easy choice out of this list. As usual, I’m not in the majority.

by wrongallalong on Jan 5, 2010 8:03 PM CST reply actions  

But you're not alone

I voted Dave Bush too. He earned an immense amount of fan goodwill from me on 10/4/2008.

You've got a couple screws missin' up in your toolbox, if you think that you'll stop this man from hittin' moonshots.

by hawing on Jan 6, 2010 8:50 AM CST up reply actions  

Always Brooks K.

It’s like always voting Branyan, the few bright spots during otherwise not so great seasons.
