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.
