Red Sox Bloggers Vote On BBA Awards

There are 13 Red Sox blogs in the Baseball Bloggers Alliance, but votes were received from only seven bloggers. Not every voter filled out a complete ballot, so the totals may be off. (In counting the votes, points were given on a 3-2-1, 5-4-3-2-1, 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis.)

The full BBA awards will be announced throughout the month.

    You have the right to vote any way you want but to omit Valverde who was perfect in save opps., was that just an oversight?

    Not an oversight.
    I did not consider saves at all.

    OK , I am just trying to get in your noggin a little bit , but why Holland and Bot over Mo or Valverde?

    In my opinion , FWIW.

    I thought Aceves was our best reliever all year. That is without looking at any stats.
    I just felt he was truly valuable to this team when others were not.
    He might been been our most cosisent as well ,wheter he started or not. And if he did start we might be in the playofs. I wonder if the FO and Tito regret making sure Wake got that win, it turned out to be quite costly.

    I looked at WHIP, OPS against, WPA, innings pitched, xFIP/ERA, maybe Leverage Index.

    "Lord knows the local baseball team last month supplied us with enough unbearable for the rest of the decade."

    CHB manages to take shots at Red Sox even while writing about the Patriots. What a tool.

    Agreed with your MVP votes. LBJ was just incredible, but it's hard to hard with Bautista's OPS (1.110 or whatever it was.)
