Hey Everyone

Now that voting for all 6 divisions have been completed, each team has a representative. Due to one tie, the braves have two. Also, due to a late late season trade the Padres also have two (I still don't know how they could trade for Alex Gonzalez after Aug 31st). That leaves Montreal with no representative but somehow that seems fittings for their team.

The round of 32 will have 15 team vs team matchups and one wild card matchup of players who were suggested by other board members.

Here are the matchups:

American League

David Eckstein

Barry Zito

Bret Boone

Dave Dellucci

Aaron Rowand

Ben Broussard

Mike Maroth

Rocco Baldelli

I'm setting this poll for two weeks. Please try and bump this post up as I will be away and have limited access to a computer.

Kyle Farnsworth over Mark Prior? Give me a break! But I guess that means I'll just quit this poll and go join Mark somewhere else! Woohoo!

No Chipper Schlongs? If I were in Florida, I'd demand a recount!

Come on, guys. How is Mantei even close to being competitive with Klesko. Ry-guy tops Mantei period (pun intended).

Oh and throw a vote or two Derosa's way.

No Alex S. Gonzalez? How did that happen?!

Alex Gonzalez is included. He's currently getting a lot more votes than Mike Piazza too.

Who did the seeding??!! Farnsworth vs. Rolen is at least a quarterfinal matchup! How can I send one of those two studs home in the first round?

You all need to do some serious voting for Sean Casey.

Not as long as he's up against Scott Podsednik. wink

just got back from Boston, Fenway is amazing.
I actually heard someone in Boston say "Nomaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" in a New England accent

as for the seeding I just put teams in the same division against each other. Casey over Podsednik? never

I'm heading off now to see the Jays-Yankees for $2 . Hopefully there will be some Jays fans there and not all New Yorkers.
