    Without giving away my votes, I would say starting pitching is by far the hardest to evaluate for this past decade of the Braves.

    I agree. And IMO it's by far the weakest group too.

    Eh. Turns out I nailed his career numbers in 2009. Wish we still had those posts.

    We had really good bench players the last decade. And after this past season I think you could throw Joyce in the mix.
    thank you weso1!

    Did mine in a hurry and didn't see the PM instructs...

    I know that my votes will inordinately influence everyone else to normalize onto my picks, so sorry...These people think they have free will

    I'm just thoroughly surprised you didn't abstain from 1b voting altogether.
