Baseball mind of the year award.

[weso1]

So, I'm thinking of handing this award out to a lucky recipient. I need some nominees. So far I have the following:

nscapi
madduxfanII
zito
gilesfan
clvclv
rico43
sturg

I need some more nominees. I also need a legit case why a certain poster has clearly earned the award before I determine a winner. Evidence is key. I feel like I'm missing some negabrave opinions who predicted a dire season for us this past year. Largely because I'm posibrave.

Just doing some research and came across these old threads: link

niners is out because he predicted the rotation would be our biggest issue.

I was leaning toward zito until I saw this post from him:

BJ should be back to hitting, but comparing him tanking last year to Span tanking 4 years ago is foolish. There's a reason to be more reserved about Bossman than there is about SPan, because Bossman was atrocious last year. I think he'll bounce back

VirginiaBrave was quite negative and predicted our late season slump, but like niners was wrong that the rotation would struggle.

Right now I'm actually leaning toward millwood1hitter. I think most posters were way too optimistic about our chances last season. millwood was negative the whole time and his reasoning actually came to fruition. Unless a new nominee steps up to the plate I think we may have a winner.

I don't know who this MadduxFanII guy is, but he sounds like a real jackass.

We have been given reason to believe that he will not be awarded the prize.

Whites only club?

I think Sav and I have been disrespected. We are calling for an investigation and you don't want hook and crook involved. <wink>.

[weso1]

The award will be given to the poster who was most correct about the fate of the Braves last season. Sure some of you use fancy words and boring ole statistics to make an argument. Most folks I listed in the OP were pretty positive going into last season, which is why after conferring with my fellow judges that they are no longer in the running.

gilesfan may get more consideration because of how correct he was about his favorite team the nats.

How dare you question the morality of the judges.

In an interesting twist the baseball mind of the year award goes to... Brule. Congrats Brule, your trophy will be in the mail soon.

[jpx7]

50PoundHead is my nomination. He not only posts consistently great insights and highly-cogent, succinctly-stated content, but selecting him means you don't have to worry whether to go "positive" or "negative" with your pick, because he's probably the most moderating and even-keeled voice we have.

(I'm working under the assumption that BRule's win will be invalidated by the Veterans Committee.)

My vote is for nscapi

[gilesfan]

Unless BOOM is slang for OPS, I don't B-Rule has ever dropped any baseball knowledge.

[gilesfan]

I vote Gilesfan. nscapi a close 2nd. Zito can win the rolaids relief award for comedic relief.

WHY ARE YOU HATING

PS:

I'm actually right a lot, true story.

Evidence? See Mike Minor / Chris Johnson and BJ Upton sucking.....Freeman not hitting 30 HRs

[weso1]

Sorry Brule, but your award has been revoked. Apparently the judges discovered that at one point you sent a scandalous picture to a moderator of another forum.

You definitely don't get credit about Mike Minor because you've said he's sucked the past 3 years when that pretty clearly wrong.

Moron.
