[BBWAVSN] 2012 MLB Awards and Voter Information

[Goober]

The ballots have been submitted, the votes have been counted. I am ready to reveal the results. The awards will be revealed one at a time over the next week, but first I would like to thank the voters for their effort. Eleven ballots were used to formulate the BBWAVSN awards this year, a disappointing turnout; but we did get a strong balance between quality posters and functioning retards. Couldn't have it any other way here. Each voter and their credentials are detailed below.

I would also like to thank the VSN administrators for their participation (or should I say lack there of). VSN has 6 administrators, many of which participate in baseball discussion. Not a single one of them could be bothered to fill out a ballot. Way to participate in the only thing of interest that has happened on this site, other then the house jms is building. But seriously, fuck you guys.

Anyways, each voter ranked their top ten choices for MVP in each league. A first place vote was worth 14 points, 2nd was 9 points, 3rd was 8 points, and so on. All other awards required the top five choices to be ranked, with a first place vote being worth 7 points. Each persons ballot will be reviewed a few days after the voting is revealed. That way everyone has time to speculate on who cast some of the more outlandish votes.

Here are the eleven voters:

Bob Kuzzy

-Lives in an igloo

Dude, I submitted a ballot to you. You told me I had to submit five more names for MVP, which I did. Not sure what happened there, but I assume you forgot about it because I left Braun off of my entire NL MVP list :dd:

Thomas has been banned from the BBWAVSN for actions deemed dishonorable. Slateman did not submit a ballot.

So you complain about none of the admins submitting a ballot, and I actually did. Yet you're going to ignore it. Great job man, way to represent :kobe:

And Warner, for the record, I actually included in my ballot PM to Gooby that I would like for him to notify me when he was finished (which was supposed to be a week ago, but I understand things come up and such) that I would like to put them on the front page.

 

[Woy]

Something's fishy here. Time to investigate.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

I demand the release of the Thomas ballot.

Full disclosure.

 

[Rudi]

Too much fuckery going on here. Post Thomas' ballot..

Non of the admins submitted legitimate ballots, no. Unfortunate situation.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

My ballot, my opinions on them. My apologies if Gooby doesn't like it, but it should be factored in no matter what. And I don't care what other people think about it, my concern is that it was misrepresented that I didn't send a ballot when I actually did. I also wasn't a fan of picking 10 players, and my original ballot contained five for MVP, and then I'll admit to submitting a BS list 6-10 by looking at Fangraph WAR as my primary decision.

Yet, I posted it. Here it is. How it is not a legitimate ballot? I would love to hear it Gooby :greinke:

Then everyone who wants to see the actual results should forward me their ballots they PM'd to Gooby, because you are taking a poll that means nothing far too seriously.
