Seven voters, seven different places for Chris Woodward.

metirish · November 20, 2006

And no one picked retirement.....

metsmarathon · November 20, 2006

well, smg left him blank. hence my question mark thingy. ditto sharpie's nomar prediction.

nymr83 · November 20, 2006

Casey signed before a few people "predicted" anything by the way.

Elster88 · November 20, 2006

Now pick a spot for Piazza to play. I'd love to have him as our backup catcher....but I doubt he'd love that.

nymr83 · November 20, 2006

can we (quickly) replace Casey with Piazza on these things since Casey signed already and Piazza is a person of greater interest to most of us than 1/3rd of the list?

metsmarathon · November 20, 2006

i have him underlined cos i don't know how to do a strike through.

as he who started the thread stated, if he signs before the ballots close, he don't count either way.

smg58 · November 20, 2006

Huh. I was going to get back to Woodward and then never did. I'd have never thought he was retiring, though.

nymr83 · November 20, 2006

Huh. I was going to get back to Woodward and then never did. I'd have never thought he was retiring, though.

he's not (at least he hasnt anounced it), that was just a reference to cleonjones being stupid in another thread.

smg58 · November 21, 2006

Oh. In that case I'll put him in Arizona. Their utility guy is gone, after all.

metsmarathon · November 21, 2006

okie dokie.

if all the participants can name a LZ for piazza before the week is up, and before he signs anywhere, i'm sure i can supplant casey with him.

i'll kick things off by naming the dodgers.

DocTee · November 21, 2006

Supplant Casey? But I got him right!

Piazza: Philadelphia

nymr83 · November 21, 2006

Piazza: Blue Jays

metirish · November 21, 2006

Thanks for posting the recap, Thon.
Looks like you're on a hot streak.
Can I call you before my next trip to Las Vegas?

Later
