2011 End of Season Awards

[funclown]

Who cares?! I'm voting Ron Robertson. Look at his stats and tell me you aren't impressed the rest of the rotation hasn't beat him into the disabled list. You know why? Because he's a fighter and he knows how to take his lumps no matter the size of his opponents...uh, teammates.

Since June 1st. Robertson has taken five black eyes, two knees to the groin, and a wet willie in the middle of a start from the Tom Stolarik - which confused some people since Tom isn't the outgoing type, but it was his attempt at fitting in.

Robertson has also blown zero saves and is such a nice guy, he's let other teams win 17 times. Come on!

I voted him 3rd.

I still don't understand why we vote on these when there are multiple weeks of baseball left to be played.

[Matt]

Because it takes everyone multiple weeks to vote and we can't advance past the playoffs until we are done.

The entire season could be over in a week.

[Matt]

Also this disclaimer is in the beginning.

Pimp away.

The utility is open with just two weeks left in the BLB. Feel free to vote for any "locks" then finish up any other races once the post season starts.

I know, which is why I wait, but a lot of people ignore it and vote anyway.

It doesn't usually make a big difference. Still, 8% of the season isn't nothing.

[Ryan]

Still, shouldn't be a big deal to just wait until the season is over and take the 10 minutes it takes to vote. Unless you're Pat, and you're in Globetrotting mode.

We should just do the awards in-game if it's that big of a deal. In a few days we will see a post from Matt or Brad saying which teams still need to vote. If we waited til the last sim, no doubt we'd hold up the first playoff sim.

These things are popularity contests, nothing more. Let the game hand out the awards, and we just vote on GM.

How? The awards voting runs through the end of the postseason. We have never held up the playoffs for awards voting.

My fault, the offseason. We finish the postseason very quickly.

I'd be fine with this as well. Treat the game voting as the baseball writers so there's a third party.

[Matt]

Last year HAL was almost dead on with our picks. In the end though I enjoy combing through the stats and voting. I think it gives owners something to do down the stretch and we've never been short on ballots yet.

How did we go from voting early to not at all?

[Jistic]

I've always supported HAL doing the awards. Jistic votes YES!

Every discussion we have eventually leads to a vote!

Can I vote you off the island?
