Unfair example. Given the voting guidelines, no writer in his right mind
would have risked the accompanying harrassment that would have followed any 
exclusion of Guidry in 1978. 

A more reasonable example of voting bias:

Let's say, after this campaign, a writer has to choose between Paul Molitor
and Charles Nagy as his 10th and final pick. I would think that this is where
Nagy might come up short of votes (assuming the odd writer harbors a bias
towards pitching inclusion in the MVP - after all - the pitchers already
have an award!)

I think with two clear-cut awards (one for hitting and one for pitching) the
pitchers would get a fair shake, which I don't feel they are getting in the
MVP balloting at this time.

Davis, Scioscia, and Jay Howell are all free agents.  Unless Butler has a
no-trade clause, I expect him to be exposed.  I'm handling the Dodgers for the
RSBB expansion draft, so I've given Dave* the roster; I'll try to create my 
picks from memory:

Piazza        Hershiser     Strawberry
Karros        R.Martinez    Goodwin
Young         P.Martinez    Rodriguez
Offerman      Astacio       Kip Gross
Sharperson    Candiotti     Ashley

I fully expect Carlos Hernandez to be picked in the expansion draft and
Scioscia to be resigned for a year or two until Bryan Baar is ready to spell
Piazza.   I'd protect Hansen, Zak Shinall, and maybe Greg Hansell, letting
Steve Searcy, Jim Neidlinger, or Lenny Harris go.  Any of those names above 
not picked would be next on the list to protect, losing maybe Raffy Bournigal,
Mike Busch, or someone like Ojeda.

Maybe I'd protect Ojeda before Searcy; it depends on Searcy's age.

Howzat?

Are you sure they wouldn't first compare thei records against eachother in the
regular season first? Like, if team A won >1/2 of its games against B AND C,
then A gets the division title? Or at least use this as a seeding for such a

Hmm, someone should have told that to the cleanup hitters last year. From
last year:

AL					
Fielder 133 -	#4 slot all year
Canseco 122-   	never batted cleanup all year
Sierra  116 -	70 games at cleanup vs 59 for Franco!
Ripken  114 - 	never batted cleanup all year
Thomas  109 -   21 games at cleanup vs 59 for Fisk, 71 for Pasqua; mostly #3
Carter  108 - 	42 games at cleanup vs 62 for Olerud
Gonzalez 102 -	20 games at cleanup; mostly #5
Ventura  100 - 	1 game at cleanup; mostly a #2 hitter
Griffey 100 - 	5 games at cleanup, vs 27 for Buhner, 20 for Davis, 8 for Daddy,
		13 for Jones, 20 for Martinez, and 66 for O'Brien
Tartabull 100 - 120 games at cleanup

NL
Johnson 117 - 	42 games at cleanup, vs 86 for McReynolds
Bonds   116 -	4 games at cleanup, vs 155 for Bonilla; mostly #3
Clark   116 - 	3 games at cleanup, vs 99 for Mitchell, 39 for Williams, 16 for
		Bass, and 5 for Leonard
McGriff 106 - 	141 games at cleanup
Gant	105 - 	61 games at cleanup, vs 91 for Justice
Dawson	104 -	78 games at cleanup vs 69 for Bell
Bonilla 100 -	155 games at cleanup
Sandberg 100 -	11 games at cleanup; mostly #2 or #3
Strawberry 99 -	52 games at cleanup vs 104 for Murray
Williams 98 -	see comment on Clark.

So, in the top 10 in both leagues, there are 4 primarily cleanup hitters, 10
primarily #3 hitters, with the rest either in the #2/#5 slots, or bouncing
around in the lineup. Looks like if you bat in the *number THREE* slot, it's
not as difficult. Course, usually, you have to be a pretty decent hitter to
be the #3 hitter on your team.

>Pete O'Brien had a thoroughly horrible season last season, but he had 81 RBIs.

Which of course, left him FAR short of being in the top ten. In fact, he barely
made the top 20 with *88* RBIs, not 81 (he tied for 19th).

Well... they DO get hot, but the streaks wouldn't be as evident if the
pitching wasn't solid. Perhaps the BEST pitching line-up in MLB. If
the pitching wasn't as incredibly talented, the Braves wouldn't be
doing as well because, unfortunately, I HAVE to admit that in several
games, the pitching has prevented the loss, and the hitting lacked.
BUT, the hitting has been pretty incredible too... Of course, to me,
incredible is when comparing them to the Braves of the 80's which I
grew up with! :)

to English speakers.

     Baseball is boring.

- It is "bursty"; in other words, most people do nothing most of the time.
- It is too specialised; playing cannot switch positions easily, as you
  would switching from forecourt to middle court to hindcourt in basketball.
- It can only let the player slowly evovle its (their) skills, because it
  stays put a lot of times.
- You talk more than you act, thinking how the ball should go instead off
  constantly running and watching and moving your body in basketall.
- It is little exercise, perhaps more an entertainment to the spectators.

Todd was suspended for 5 games, though he is appealing the suspension.  He
was interviewed on ESPN last night and said that he had not heard the umpire
call for the infield fly and thought there was a force.  He went ballistic
because he knew he had the ball and touched the bag, yet the ump called the
guy safe.  He was very apologetic last night.

The Jays go on a long road trip....3 games against the surging Indians,

Important road trip for the Jays.

Hopefully, the Jays win, so the net effect of the series is no gain for the O's
and 4 more games off the schedule.  Yes, its worry time for us Jays fans.  The
last two months of the baseball season, we get to watch the Jays try to throw
away a good season.

   He's surely cooked when facing the Brewhas. While listening to the game,
