Here’s Brock Hanke’s ballot for 2007. It hasn't changed any since the one I put in the Discussion thread, but I have a minute here to transfer it to this thread, where it all be easier to include in the count.

It was a surprise. There was a lot of consensus between WAR and Win Shares, much more than normal. But, yes, there were a couple of severe disconnects. Win Shares has Hanley Ramirez ranked 5th; WAR has him 54th. That’s a disconnect. There’s a trio of disconnects going the other way, right next to each other, that are truly bizarre. In WAR, Brad Penny, Roy Oswalt, and Josh Beckett are in a three-way tie for 12th place. In Win Shares, they rank 55th, 56th, and 57th. I don’t expect to see THAT ever again.

One of the side effects of good consensus is that no pitchers make the top 15, because the consensus doesn’t leave any room for any. Usually, there are enough disconnects that the best pitcher in the game at least makes the 15; sometimes I have to force a pitcher from the other league onto the ballot, because people here want the best pitcher from each league, but I don’t think I’ve ever had a ballot with no pitchers on it. So, I forced Jake Peavy (9th in WAR, 40th in Win Shares; I don’t think that WAR has ever generated a list whose best pitcher was as low as 9th before) and C. C. Sabathia (16th and 33rd) on to the ballot, replacing Grady Sizemore and Robinson Cano.

OK, enough of that; here’s the list:

1. ARod
2. Albert Pujols
3. David Wright
4. Magglio Ordonez
5. Chase Utley
6. Curtis Granderson
7. Carlos Pena
8. Chipper Jones
9. Jimmy Rollins
10. David Ortiz
11. Troy Tulowitski
12. Ichiro
13. Matt Holliday
14. Jake Peavy
15. C. C. Sabathia

Final ballot-no postseason credit but some small credit for playing for a Division-contender
I would have posted a Preliminary ballot but the discussion thread would not allow me to post

1. Alex Rodriguez--easy choice for number 1
2. David Wright--a surprise choice for NL MMP. I ranked him above Pujols due to questioning 31 fielding runs being credited to a first baseman & over Utley due to the Phils keystoner missing more playing time.
3. Pujols
4. Utley
5. Magglio Ordonez
6. Carlos Pena
7. Granderson
8. Chipper Jones
9. David Ortiz
10.Rollins--lower OBP kept from higher ranking
11.Peavy--edges out CC & Webb in close race for top pitcher
12.Holliday
13.Sabathia
14.Posada--catcher bonus helps make top 15
15.Brandon Webb--injuries derailed possible HOF career

1. Alex Rodriguez - no contest
2. David Wright
3. Magglio Ordonez
4. Chipper Jones
5. David Ortiz - DH penalty canceled out by post-season play
6. Albert Pujols - a "down" year for him
7. Chase Utley
8. Curtis Granderson
9. Carlos Pena
10. Matt Holliday
11. Jimmy Rollins
12. Grady Sizemore
13. Jorge Posada
14. Josh Beckett - post-season bump
15. Ichiro Suzuki
