Last place in our division last year to winning it this year, going +18 in wins and a brother can't even get a 3rd place vote for J Allard? All this while still trading Carillo and Theodore.

Haters.

I have my reasons, but you were on the bubble.

Actually, I want to know who gave me a first place vote and the reasoning behind it. We finished worse than last year, 7 games under our Pythagorean Record, and limped into a Wild Card thanks to the rest of the field going under .500.

I really don't see what good we did but continue to find a way to win with such a young group. Maybe that's it. Or maybe someone just likes me.

I voted for you. First place vote, if i'm not mistaken.

I agree. Add Baltimore to the list of disgruntled.

I did not vote for you. Sorry. But, if there had been four votes, I would have. Probably.

Alright, I'll say it. I think its strange that Manny Mendez was left off of someones ballot for DL New Brew. Maybe someone didn't scroll down? I hate to be that guy. Jeeze this is just weird...

And Rex Knight was left off of two ballots for DL Stout Slugger. I'm just sayin'. We didn't win much this year. I'm bitter. And on pain medication. Not sayin' anything but what i'm sayin'. Know what i'm sayin'?

I deliberately left Pagan off. Yes, all in all, he had a good season, but there are also other excellent candidates who didn't lead the BLB in walks allowed.

[Lintyfresh85]

I also agree with that.

Over 100 walks, and a WHIP near 1.50 is something that could easily scare voters off.

[liquidcrash]

He also walked every batter he didn't strike out. He had a good season and looks to be an ace in the near future, but I think there are some pretty good options for IL New Brew.

[Lintyfresh85]

I almost forgot to scroll down.

[Andrew]

I understand the strong cases for several other players in the IL, it just boggles my mind how he could've been left off 6 of the 11 ballots cast thus far. That's ridiculous.

Maybe they didn't scroll down to the pitchers. That's the only explanation I can think of. I had Pagan #1.

[Sully]

As much as it pained me to do so....he was #1 on my ballot.

I guess I should've pimped Hector Pagan more for New Brew since he was somehow left off of 6 ballots thus far...

#1 in the IL in K's per 9 IP
#1 in the IL in hits per 9 IP
#1 in the IL in Opponents Average
38.7 VORP

The only knock on Pagan is his control, which I knew would be an issue his first season, but the kid probably has the nastiest stuff in the IL right now.

IL - Pale Ale Pitcher

Donato Guardamagni

Reasons to vote for Donato,

IL WHIP: #1
IL VORP: #2
IL RA/9: #1
IL ERA: #3
IL K/BB: #3
IL QS: #3
IL QS%: #3
IL H/9: #3

Pat likes to say Wilkerson has a better VORP because he's started three more games than Carlton. Why then does Guardamagni also rank higher?

Carlton: 28 starts, 180 IP, 60.6 VORP
Guardamagni: 29 starts, 201 IP, 64.3 VORP

He's got the lowest WHIP and the second highest VORP in the IL... what more does he need to do to prove he's worthy?

[Carlos]

Manny Mendez has been quoted in the press lately stating his desire to play for Pawtucket.

Just sayin.

Nice editing. You forgot to mention that Pawtucket was second on that list behind Denver. ;)
