Location?

Why isn't Krsnich listed amongst IL relief pitchers? Or Liggins? Or Jackson? Or Maw? Instead, it lists Nunez who has the highest ERA of anyone on my staff. The others all have an ERA below 3.00....

Innings?

[Pat]

With eight ballots in, there is competition at the following:

DL
1B - Eires has the power, Gremades has the average, and Keppel is solid in both.
SS - Haydon has the pop, Moher is solid all-around.
OF - Morgon has the average, Alexander has the HRs.
SP - The two Dallas SP appear to be hurting themselves, both with 4-votes, tied for 6th.
RP - Could go a lot of ways.

IL
2B - Grounds has the average and defense, Harcourt has monster power.
RP - Could go a lot of ways.

Innings?

Nope, not it.

Any word, Andrew?

Like you don't have enough money already.

Better start pimping them to McCrotch to get in on the Manager's ballot.

[Sully]

I'd just like to know why they were left off. Was it a mistake on Andrew's part? It's odd that Nunez is on there, and he's my worst reliever by far.

[Clay]

I think the utility does it. I'm not sure Andrew has any control.

That's right. The utility picks the players. Usually I would assume innings or VORP but that isn't the case here. No clue why it picked him. The only thing I can see is maybe is high strike out total?

[Sully]

Boo.

[Clay]

I would think it's very difficult for the utility to account for RPs. Hell, it's always the toughest one for us humans to account for in AS and end of the year balloting.

What's the penalty for not voting?

May I suggest... any non-voters have to spend 2 hours on AIM with McCrotch listening to him talk about himself.
