ChopCountry First Ever Offseason Awards!

[The Chosen One]

Been meaning to do this since the beginning of January...

POSTING SEASON WAS FROM JULY 4th to DECEMBER 31st

Nominate your top 5 for each the following categories. Those nominated we'll have a poll at the end of the week for each award...

MVP - Best All Around poster who contributed the most to this forum. Satire, Humor, Banter, Thought-Provoking Substance, Statistical expert, can go serious or light, and generally gets plenty of Thanks.

Cy Young Award - Most informative poster with pin-point precision in detail of statistics, information, literature, vocabulary, and debate.

Silver Slugger - Best offensive poster. Offensive can mean offending a mass audience, or producing a ton of post streaks for better or for worse.

Viagra Relief Man of the Year - Best Poster who comes in during the middle of an exchange and puts in his .02 and either gets tons of thanks or gets lots of rave reviews.

Gold Glove Award - The posters that save a thread from being derailed the most, or at least try to save the discussion to remain on-topic. Or posters that when a thread is dying, can come back and light a fire and reignite the conversation.

You can nominate up to 10 people for this award with the posters totaling the 5 highest amount of votes winning the award

The Fredi Gonzalez Award - Poster that doesn't receive enough recognition for their contributions to this community.

Hot Head of the Year - Poster who had the most outcries and callouts. Also the poster that had the worst temper in a thread and immediately went ape$#!+.

As a side rule, if you can't think of 5, then leave as many ballots blank as you can. Posters can be nominated for multiple awards

Poster with Most Street Cred - Poster that is universally respected by everyone.

ROY - New poster that made a name for himself. (Because he joined this month, Millwood is ineligible for this award).

And yes, I'm leaving myself out of the conversation.

I think the best timing for this would be around a week or two into spring training. That's when you are going to get your most traffic.

As with most things, the chop country awards are strictly about stroking the insiders egos.

As long as I win Cy Young I don't care

I've already withdrawn my name from any consideration.

A vote for me is like a vote for Ron Paul. A waste.

[GovClintonTyree]

This is going to be worse than the baseball Hall of Fame vote. So far 12 people have posted only 3 actual votes

On Millwood, sometimes somebody comes along and you have to throw convention out the window. Kinda like putting Puig in the Allstar game. Plus, he said he'd take Lock to arbitration if the ruling wasn't overturned, and we're not a file-and-trial franchise. Better to cave so there are no hard feelings.

Ok. Nominate yourself... nominate anybody even jeez. I just need people to start nominating (serious nominations btw, not troll noms).

[goldfly]

don't tell me what to do

[CyYoung31]

How about the Brian McCann award? For the poster who helped carry the forum in the first half and then trailed off in the second.

Also, am I eligible to win my own award?

I wouldn't say you pulled a McCann. Would probably give that to AUTiger (not Auburn mod). Dude was posting like 100 posts per gamethread then had to go to school and stopped posting.

Would that make me eligible for 2 awards?

I don't see why not. Also, no nsacpi for MVP is like no Macklemore for Record of the Year. He's gotta be in there.

[GovClintonTyree]

Perhaps a Lifetime Achievement/Special Award from the Academy for SAV/Keith Lockhart? The Oscars are nothing if not self-congratulatory...

[weso1]

Guys... let's keep this thread on topic, ok.

I feel like I'm in the running for this. Does our contributions before the new forum count?
