Here are the final results: http://i.imgur.com/PIoGcz2.png Obviously there are some Hall of Fame ballot level mistakes here, but in general I think the process worked. Myself being a unanimous selection probably has a lot to do with me doing the leg work on this new league. Objectively, I was a bubble candidate. I didn't deserve to be in the top 3, let alone get full support. Silvergun and Dinger were locks through regular season dominance and back to back titles for SVG. Feather D joins SVG and DD as the only three owners with a win rate of 60% or more. Add in a title and four playoff appearances, and he has objectively been a top 3 team. I'm glad he got nominated. North has a title but also missed the playoffs, and his total win% is lower than mine or min's. He's also been busy lately. Min has four playoff appearances and a Prime Minister's trophy, but his total win% is lower than mine and maybe more importantly I post more and he has activity concerns stemming from other leagues. With a 55% win rate and 3 playoff appearances, jaysblue was properly ranked. Havok's vote is probably from his recent playoff appearance. BTS is an over .500 team with two playoff appearances and a division title. Recognition warranted. Boxy's single vote is the ultimate participation ribbon, and a nod to how much we appreciate him trucking along. I'm not sure why you got a vote. That's hard to reconcile.

The four Big League nominees from the DDL are Silvergun, Dinger, FTD, and myself. There was a tie for 5th place between therealmin and North. If we need one substitute the DDL will ask North first, because he has a DDL title. Jaysblue is the 3rd substitute and was the only other team to receive multiple votes.

I trust you. That's it then. Results soon...

Jonah Keri podcast - any of his baseball guests. 2080 is doing organizational reviews in podcast form. A bit long and slow but if you are a prospect-o-phile they are good.

Speedy just voted. A lot hinges on min's vote. 7, 6, and 6 are the vote counts for the three bubble owners.

Thanks!

I don't want to potentially skew the last two votes so I'll avoid giving any indication of who the six relevant teams are right now, or where they rank.

18/20 votes. Just need min and speedy (maybe someone can text them?) 4th, 5th, and 6th place have 7, 6, and 5 votes each. So looks like we need everybody to vote to get our final rankings.

If only it were that easy, Kev.

Miguel Castro has filthy stuff. It's a reasonable position to say that, so far, AA has ruined his career.

He's fatter than Bartolo Colon when Bartolo was his age. Bartolo was skinny as a rookie, you know.

Just four left to vote. Looks like jays_fever, havok, min, and speedy.

15/20 votes cast The vote counts are: 15 13 11 7 5 4 2 1 1 1 So, three people are mathematically nominated and four have a chance at the last spot. Although one person might give up their spot for a different league, so the cutoff could be the top five here.

I deleted it. Please resubmit. I would suggest being more serious but you can throw away your votes if it makes you feel beeeg and stronggg.

Yeeesh. Cards probably only signed Fowler because they knew their first couple picks would be gone anyway. Did this saga hurt the Blue Jays?

Still seeking votes from: jaysblue jays_fever havok boxy silvergun therealmin Sammy SpeedyGose No rush at all, but if you haven't voted then please do. This will be up until we get a decisive ranking, which will likely require 18+ voters.

Twitter humans are saying the punishment is light. I do think there's a wink-wink going on between STL and MLB. There's no way Chris Correa was the only person in on this 2.5 year scheme.

wow

That's weird. DDL shows the past standings fine.

Well you can just look at the winning percentage column. I don't think that includes playoff matchups.

Yes. You can also add a qualifier so that people must pick exactly 4 teams to submit.

You'll need to change the question type to 'Checkboxes' so people can make multiple selections

12/20 league members have voted. 10 different people have legitimate votes. It looks like the top 3 are decided with 13, 12, and 11 votes each. But the final spot is very much up for grabs. 4th place has 5 votes, 5th place has 3 votes, 6th place is a three way tie for 2 votes. Interesting race for fourth and fifth place. We'll probably need every vote casted. Based on what Dinger has said, he might choose to rep BORED if chosen so 5th place probably ends up representing the DDL.

6 responses so far 7 teams have received votes there is a three way tie for 4th!

DDL members - please fill out this short survey for the proposed BJMB All Star Keeper League. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1UDFRmSyhzLrabCg9gFGiuLpcKchzNH3n0Pw79M22Rh4/edit This is a new "All Star" fantasy keeper that we might start this year. It will have four teams each from the DDL, LoD, BBDL, and BORED. Each league will select their own 4 representatives. More discussion on the proposed league here: http://www.bluejaysmessageboard.com/threads/7123-The-Big-League-Gauging-interest-in-a-new-keeper Even if you won't get picked this year, there will be a promotion system to the Big League. The best finishing teams from each league not already in the loop get promoted for the following year, replacing the worst performing teams from the All Star league.
