Kooz too valuable, named three times.

[seawolf17]

If Dykstra and Knight are on that list with a hole in the middle, there must have been another '86er. Ojeda?

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Has our favorite Marlin/Blue Jay Jose Reyes had any love? I'd think he'd be on multiple ballots, but he wasn't healthy a lot, either.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Gary Carter?

[G-Fafif]

Already named. But you're on the right track.

Roger McDowell

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Closers seem to get some love, and we need someone in the range of the 1988 team. Randall K. Myers?

Great quiz. Missed it by that much.
