[RedsoxRockies]

Houston, did you vote? And if so, what does your ballot look like?

Relief Pitcher of the Year (3)
Gold Glove (3 P, 3 C, 3 1B, 3 2B, 3 3B, 3 SS, 9 OF)
Silver Slugger (3 P in NL, 3 DH in AL, 3 C, 3 1B, 3 2B, 3 3B, 3 SS, 9 OF)

[RedsoxRockies]

Yea, I know, I have spoken with Houston, and he is just not counting the extra's. I was using the old template, which I never knew had been changed

[HoustonGM]

If you submit more than the required number of slots on a ballot, I will just ignore the excess and count the top 3 (or 10 for the MVP), so that's fine.

The ballot he submitted to me via PM is fine.

[RedsoxRockies]

GET DELGADO OFF THAT LIST He is not an MVP lol

[dannymac910]

Wow, no love to Mussina. And Ellsbury as ROY? LOL! And RSR, BOS for 2nd place manager of the year? I'm calling shenanigans.

[RedsoxRockies]

Wow, no love to Mussina. And Ellsbury as ROY? LOL! And RSR, BOS for 2nd place manager of the year? I'm calling shenanigans.

NO Read it. BOS is 2nd for GM OF THE YEAR. That is for the Manny trade

[dannymac910]

NO Read it. BOS is 2nd for GM OF THE YEAR. That is for the Manny trade

OH, lol. I would put Theo first because that was a genius trade.

[RedsoxRockies]

OH, lol. I would put Theo first because that was a genius trade.

Eh, Tampa still deserves first in that. But it was a great trade, even if Manny has been awesome as a dodger
