Mets MVP voting

[Guest KC]

vtmet: >>>I'll save the last vote for either El Duque or Maine, based on who is more impressive in the post season.<<<

Do you do this on purpose?

[Guest vtmet]

KC...the original post said "MVP....of the year" (not of the regular season)...the year isn't over yet, my top 9 choices have solidified these spots IMO regardless of the playoffs...both Maine and El'Duque have had moments of unexpected success...so far, IMO, neither has anchored a vote YET, but both have hinted of deserving a vote...

[Guest KC]

Just asking.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Top of my head ONLY:

10 Beltran
9 Reyes
8 Wright
7 Delgado
6 Glavine
5 LoDuca
4 Sanchez
3 Chavez
2 Valentin
1 Heilman

[Benjamin Grimm]

vtmet's vote will be disposed of. No sharing of votes between two guys.

Also, he overlooked this:

]I'll do the tallying next week. Try to vote, if you can, before the playoffs start on Wednesday night, lest ye be unduly influenced by NLDS heroics.

[Guest vtmet]

There...I revised it for ya...no sharing used...no undecided until the playoffs...

Loduca 5

Martinez 2
Sanchez 1

i "weighed" this (in my head, i didnt use formulas or anything) more towards those who contributed in April/May/June and away from those who had a big August/September when the playoffs were all but wrapped up.

edit- i cant spell

His numbers were better than any other reliever though, so I ranked him higher than any reliever. I'd argue he was more valuable than any non-Glavine starter.

]For the contract, non-playoff appearances that are not automatic like every time ... yawn. We can give Wagner props come end of playoffs ... or call for tar and feathering.

If contract comes into it, then Beltran should be behind Reyes and Wright.

Have the 2005 rankings affected the overall player rankings yet?

[Guest Edgy DC]

There will be an announcement.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm gonna close this tomorrow morning. Real MVP voters have to get their votes in before the postseason begins, so we'll stick with that rule here.

If you're interested in voting, try to do it today.

Voting for the Mets MVP is now closed. Results will be posted soon.

[Benjamin Grimm]

And here are the results. Ten points for a first-place vote, nine for a second-place vote, etc.

Twenty-five people voted, which is pretty close to how many baseball writers vote each year, I think. (Isn't it two from each city in the league?)

[Guest cooby]

Much more like it.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Interesting that two people didn't vote for Glavine at all, and three didn't vote for Lo Duca.

[Willets Point]

Shit - I didn't take note of the deadline.

Too late to the party. Well, just for the hell of it, I'll post my off the top of my head list now.

LoDuca 7

I feel bad that I couldn't find room for Chavez, Sanchez, or Heilman. Their contributions to the team were invaluable this season.

[Valadius]

Dammit, you couldn't wait a few more hours?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Nope. You had all day yesterday.
