A surprise early Eric Arnett vote.

Though, bringing him up to the Majors would increase the chances of Will Arnett becoming a Brewers fan. I now wish I could change my vote.

Yeah, that was me. I thought I'd clicked "Nick Bucci"

...BRANDONJENNINGSSUX!!!

Oh man...

I was hoping it was in earnest. Somebody still has to be an Arnett fan, right?

by mpbMKE on Feb 7, 2012 2:56 PM CST up reply actions

We need to find them and remove their voting privileges.

by cwolf20 on Feb 7, 2012 3:03 PM CST up reply actions

Arnett is pretty funny

Oh you mean Eric.

No Kjeldgaard...

(PS, I promise this is the last time I’ll say anything about it. I know I’m probably bordering on annoying at this point.)

BCB Ad of the Day:

“DomincanCupid.com: 100% Dominican Singles”

I guess they know we’ve been talking about Orlando Arcia.

kyle heckathorn

was he just THAT bad this year or was he some ptbnl that i didn’t realize? if not, a bit surprised that the #2 ranked prospect on last years bcb poll has not even been considered to this point..

by rschm24 on Feb 7, 2012 5:20 PM CST reply actions

I put candidates on the ballot based on a pre-ranking which is just an average of ten other prospect rankings I've seen.

Of the ten, all but two left Heckathorn off their list. Sickels had him as an honorable mention (somewhere over 20) and Minor League Baseball Prospects had him 14th.

I don’t know why everyone seems to have given up on him, but clearly it’s a consensus opinion at this point.

Now that's great tasting chicken!

by Kyle Lobner on Feb 7, 2012 6:08 PM CST up reply actions

I think that pretty much proves the value of such "consensus"

Solve for X: 5.5 (Fielder) + 0.3 (McGehee) + 0.5 (Betancourt) < X (Gamel) + 3.6 (Ramirez) + 1.1 (Gonzalez)... X >= 1.7 fWAR!

by SRB on Feb 7, 2012 6:35 PM CST up reply actions

So next year I should just let you make the list?

We’ve got to start somewhere.

Now that's great tasting chicken!

Hey, do whatever you want

I was just remarking on how humorously arbitrary these lists are, especially the ones created by people holding themselves out as experts.

Solve for X: 5.5 (Fielder) + 0.3 (McGehee) + 0.5 (Betancourt) < X (Gamel) + 3.6 (Ramirez) + 1.1 (Gonzalez)... X >= 1.7 fWAR!
