The List So Far

1. Drake Baldwin

2. AJ Smith-Shawver

How it works

1. Anyone can nominate a player by posting the player's name in the nomination section by replying to the "Nominations here" comment. ONLY ONE NOMINATION PER PLAYER. Duplicate nominations will be ignored and the nomination with the most recs for the player will count as the player's vote total. Rajah transfers previous vote recipients to the new nomination list in alphabetical order. You only need to nominate if the player didn't receive votes last round.

2. One vote per person.

3. Votes are done by rec'ing the player's name in the nomination section.

4. Keep the discussion out of the nomination section to make it easier for people to find the names they are looking for. Just don't reply to the "Nominations here" comment or its children. There'll be a "discuss below" comment to make this clearer.

5. Eligibility issues, such as how we treat MLB rookies, are up to the community and how the community chooses to nominate and vote.

Generally rajah would typically post these on a Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule with voting open from one post time to the next. CoachfromdaCouch will be filling in as best as possible for the foreseeable future. Parameters and method of discussion and voting shall continue to follow rajah's original vision. New posting date/time may deviate based on availability and/or a landslide vote.
