1998 DL Awards PIMP Thread

Pimp!

RJ Curtis for Pale Ale.

No one else even deserves a vote.

Can we just vote for one guy? I'd like to make sure the system can't misinterpret my vote.

Its like we only have two pitchers in DL. I agree on Curtis though.

My staff disagrees.

I'd like to take a second to congratulate Koichi "Gargoyle" Nakashima on an amazing year...

-30 Saves in 32 chances - 93.8% SV%
-Went 7-2
-0.87 WHIP
-1.29 ERA, best in the DL for relievers
-1.99 FIP, second best in the DL
-4.86 H/9 (good for 9th best season all time among pitchers with 50 IP, while Lozano will take 8th)

Wasn't even an all star... give the guy a bone with a 2nd place vote.

Also, he's not on the ballot because he only pitched 50 innings... 6 less than other guys on the ballot, so he just missed qualifying I assume... but Hisashi Tanaka had a hell of a season for not coming up until July 14th.

1.80 ERA
1.18 WHIP
.608 Opponent OPS

Pretty solid for a midseason call up.

When making your choice between Haynes and Kinsey, keep in mind that one of those players played 6.1 innings in the field this season while the other caught 1291 innings and threw out 40% of opposing baserunners for a playoff team.

Just tossing that out there. Not being greedy, just stating facts.

I already supported Curtis which is as good a bet of victory as Obama sitting silent while Romney insults half the country.

No need to eat the cake too!

I have not really looked into the other Rookies but I'm gonna pimp...

WALLY COPELAND-C

Wally was a rule 5 draft pick who made a huge leap from AA to not only stay on our major league roster but to be arguably our best offensive player. Copeland hit 33 bombs with 91 RBI's in 125 games. His slash line was .240/.286/473. Not a lot of bright spots in the steele city this year.
