After this one the choices seem to come back.

I guess it’s a match between Gregg Zuan and BJ.

Blah!

Al Martin

Most Valuable Bigamist

I couldn’t bring myself to vote for Upton, who pretty much sucked when he wore the number.

thank you!

Yeah, he was a young guy, still pretty remarkable what he did and being so young. If he is going to win on these, this is probably his shot, because I think Randy Winn SHOULD win #2. But then again, I thought Roberto Hernandez should have won #39 over JP Howell.

Blah!

I gave it to Josh Wilson for his ERA....

though I probably should have gone with Gomez, given that it looks like he’s the only candidate with a chance of knocking B.J out of the race…. B.J doesn’t deserve this roster spot, but he will get my vote for #2
