    For 1982, each voter should rank their top 13 players from both leagues combined.

    Balloting is scheduled to close at 4pm EST on 06 June 2013.

    Anyone can vote, even if you do not normally participate in Hall of Merit discussions. If have never participated in an MMP election, just post a preliminary ballot in the discussion thread by 05 June 2013.

    For detailed rules see one of our previous ballots.

    Oh good. I was worried we were done with all this.

    Triple Crown Means Something

    Only if you're a horse trainer.

    A BBWAA writer trying to keep a BBWAA award in the news? I'm shocked. I can't blame him, as even thinking baseball fans have shown that they will gladly take the bait time and time again.

    Isn't that who baseball players use?

    That would seem to underscore the notion that voters do put an emphasis on the world valuable, which often translates into championships.

    Actually, that would underscore the notion that voters are functionally illiterate, as the meaning of the word "value" in the context of the MVP ballot is specifically outlined on the MVP ballot:


    Actual value of a player to his team, that is, strength of offense and defense

    Wow #5, hook line and sinker.

    Ringolsby's not being sarcastic - he's made it clear in the past this is exactly what he means.

    Carpenter, who was released by the Blue Jays after the 2002 season by the J.P. Ricciardi administration of which Law was a part, is no Javier Vazquez. He does, however, have a 1-2-3 Cy Young Award ledger, winning the award in 2005, finishing third in 2006 and finishing second in 2009.

    This is a petty and pointless thing to bring up.

    DJS, I know, just surprised to see that little debating point for the thousandth time in the last month. Surprised that anyone would engage with the article at all.

    This is just an odd piece. Short, not terribly meaty, with an outsized emphasis on Keith Law.

    So you're accusing me of being easy to bait into an argument long after the argument was interesting and newsworthy?

    D'oh! Guilty as charged. I'm a nitpicker and a loudmouth who has an obsessive need to get the last word in. It's no wonder I like writing!
