For good reason, I guess we're considering Keppel's award unofficial?
So through 10 votes, some interesting notes:
DL Stout Slugger
Harry Keppel stole a first place vote from Kinsey. Yet, he only has three total votes in 10 ballots.
Pete Hampton is the second favorite in the league but was left off two ballots.
DL Pale Ale Pitcher
Favorites: Suarez and O'Moore were completely left off one ballot each.
DL Refreshing New Brew
Kinsey is the clear favorite to win by landslide, but no one's really sure who is the second or third best rookie.
DL Last Call Relief
McCoy and Ortiz were each left off a ballot despite being the favorites at this point.
IL Stout Slugger
Mel Woodbury is the clear favorite to take this award, but one GM felt that Caballero was better than second, while two felt that Cabellero didn't even belong.
IL Pale Ale Pitcher
Carlton/Wilkerson leads the vote, but two voters felt it was Wilkerson/Calrton.
IL Refreshing New Brew
Jarred Good is the only rookie to appear on every ballot.
IL Last Call Relief
Ken Bayer is the favorite to repeat and has appeared on every ballot.
GM Of the Year
Davenport's Eric Spearin, Denver's Carlos Hernandez and Washington's Pat McLaughlin have appeared in the most ballots with 5 each. But, five voters felt others were more deserving. Without much surprise, it is the closest of the races.

That #1 vote for Keppel wasn't me. But I voted Gremades over Hampton mainly b/c of his record breaking OBP. Plus, his VORP was higher than Hampton's. But it sure looks like Kinsey is going to run away with both Slugger AND New Brew! Awesome!
DL Pale Ale
The top 3 were my top 3, but in different order.
DL New Brew
It's gonna be a dog fight for the last 2 spots.
DL Last Call
It's hard to overlook Stevens as an award candidate. His contribution to that bullpen kept the Slammers in contention all year.
IL Stout
Clear #1 and #2. #3 depends on what stat each owner prefers to rank higher.
IL Pale Ale
Toughest top 3 for me. Although if I remember correctly, I voted for those same 3 but in different order.
IL New Brew
After Good... ?
IL Last Call
I don't remember my picks.

I value significant improvement over previous year than just continued dominance. So you can probably figure out which GM's I voted for.
