[wdoupis]

My ballot:

Jim Garrett: Been a vote or two short last few seasons. Maybe this is his year.

Richie Norris: One of the most dominant relievers we have seen and relievers matter!!!!!

Angel Ruiz: Honestly his numbers were not as good as I thought when I reviewed him but I know for a decade he was one of the best and a guy I always feared facing.

That Bly/Morgan 1-2 punch is giving me a chubby.

My ballot:

Jim Garrett: Been a vote or two short last few seasons. Maybe this is his year.

Richie Norris: One of the most dominant relievers we have seen and relievers matter!!!!!

Angel Ruiz: Honestly his numbers were not as good as I thought when I reviewed him but I know for a decade he was one of the best and a guy I always feared facing.

This hits me right in the feels and just makes me all warm and gushy.

Good to see you back my man.

Anyone with 100+ HOF Monitor/Miami Hat gets a vote from me.. so:

Pat Jones
Jim Garrett
Angel Ruiz
Richie Norris
Victor Perez
Frank WIlton

I know OOTP has passed me by when I don't recognize 2 of those 3 names. And probably the only reason it's not all 3, is the 3rd dude played on my team for a bit.

[GeorgesGoons]

Fuck Hollingsworth was on IL and didn't show up on my list dammit

hahaha. I found it odd that you exported yesterday but didn't protect him. Makes sense now

I always go thru the list and sort it by team to make sure there isn't someone on there from one of my teams that I may have missed.

[Graywolf357]

Phil king bail out. Nice beef.

Phil king bail out. Nice beef.

Until he sends him back. Which he will. Pretty sure it's a troll on George.
