ABL-to-MLB Year-end awards

Vote for your favorite ABL player in the Major Leagues

Regular-season baseball in all its forms is officially over. You've listened to me ramble on for the past year. Now it's your turn to tell me what you think! Below is the official ballot for the 2010 ABL-to-MLB year-end awards. There are four categories: Batter, Pitcher, Bench/Util and Rookie. You can help elect whoever you want to the awards, but there are a few ground rules...

Rules: You can vote for anyone you want. There is a list of suggested candidates, but there is also a write-in form. I had to narrow the ballot down somehow, so I made some judgment calls. Some were obvious and some were borderline, so I figured the only way to make it fair was to give you the opportunity to write-in your own selection. The only rule I have regarding this is to be reasonable. First, this is an MLB award, so a player should have participated in a significant amount of a season at the MLB level. Second, keep your votes roughly within their own category. For example, don't write-in an American League pitcher for "best batter". There is some gray area in both of these rules and I'll be pretty flexible, but if your vote is too ridiculous I reserve the right to leave it uncounted.

You can only vote once, you can leave a section blank if you choose, and the only required field is a valid e-mail address. I realize that there may be temptation to spam your favorite guy over the top, so I will only count votes attached to a valid e-mail address. I understand that this is not a perfect way to keep spam-voting from happening, so realistically the rule should be "you can vote as many times as you can come up with phony e-mail addresses", but I also reserve the right to throw out votes that are obvious duplicates.
