So happy ballot season is back!!!!

Good to see Andruw Jones with a check. He should be in the HOF.

mitchelli513.bsky.social•98 days ago

I don’t get voting for Andruw and not Carlos Beltran. Good ballot otherwise

thehildabeast.bsky.social•98 days ago

I guess Beltran being a big driver of the banging scheme was a dealbreaker for him.

mitchelli513.bsky.social•98 days ago

Maybe, the logic doesn’t really make sense to me though

cooperstowndave.bsky.social•98 days ago

There’s also an unfortunate dynamic in which people do not appreciate center fielders unless they are of the level of a Trout, Griffey, Mantle, or Mays.

cyclonejoe.bsky.social•98 days ago

Consistent with not voting for the steroid guys. If you vote for one cheater then you’d have to vote for the ones who were better, so if this voter hasn’t voted for cheaters before then I guess he’s not starting now

playbetter.bsky.social•96 days ago

Will he vote for Scherzer?

cyclonejoe.bsky.social•96 days ago

Voters are humans so just because they appear to follow a pattern doesn’t mean they always will, but if he doesn’t vote for any cheater then my guess is it will come down to his trust in Phil Cuzzi

metschief.bsky.social•95 days ago

Jones is widely assumed to be a steroid guy

mitchelli513.bsky.social•95 days ago

He was never caught/punished. I don’t even think he was in the Mitchell report

notmrtibbs.com•98 days ago

Gosh darnit. I forgot the image alt text. We have every intention of including alt text with our ballot posts here...

jendev91578.bsky.social•95 days ago

YES! it has starrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrted

dfwrangersfan.bsky.social•98 days ago

There’s a setting you can enable that won’t let you post an image without alt text.

notmrtibbs.com•98 days ago

Turned it on. Thanks!

crawfordchrisv.bsky.social•98 days ago

Let's try and keep the swears to a minimum, Ryan.

charliechaz.bsky.social•97 days ago

First of all, thanks for doing this every year it really great work. Second of all, good ballot even though I'd have a few more, I get the logic. Third of all, Ichiro for unanimous bby let's go

kleshreen.bsky.social•97 days ago

Every voter who doesn't use all 10 spots on a ballot this stacked should be banned from baseball.

thefakesith.bsky.social•98 days ago

And we are off!

lbcorreia.bsky.social•97 days ago

I'm a large hall guy, but if you're only going to vote for 4 people (and aren't voting steroid users), these are probably the best 4

marcc856.bsky.social•98 days ago

While I want Utley to make it, I can't complain about this ballot

canofcorn.bsky.social•98 days ago

Solid ballot, kinda want to see a few other borderline cases getting votes. I give this ballot a 7/10.

emilianogarciag.bsky.social•98 days ago

Tis the season

anaveragegamerttv.bsky.social•97 days ago

So it begins!

leesterbro.bsky.social•98 days ago

Man I love seeing these

metschief.bsky.social•95 days ago

Very bad ballot. Jimmy didn’t bother to learn anything about Billy Wagner before voting for him.

benjaminj.bsky.social•97 days ago

Interesting ballot he basically voted for the four guys most likely to get in this year

willgravesap.bsky.social•98 days ago

The first time he’s been first in a while … 🤣 #eatitgolen

austineich.bsky.social•98 days ago

The first ballot revealed on Bluesky includes Billy Wagner. Swoon.

comish4lif.bsky.social•98 days ago

Did he type "First!" when he posted it?

bandon24.bsky.social•98 days ago

Good to have you here Ryan, and thanks for the efforts from you and the tracker team.

philipmichaels.bsky.social•98 days ago

phildiggety.bsky.social•98 days ago

Heyyyyyyyyyy

moodforfoods.bsky.social•98 days ago

This is a very practical “just vote for the guys who might get in this year” ballot, so I won’t disrespect much, even if I would add Beltran.

richstaff.bsky.social•98 days ago

We’ve never been more back, maybe ever

robertmutton.bsky.social•98 days ago

Thanks Ryan for doing this work!

iamnotmattcote.bsky.social•97 days ago

Oooof. Bad.

dkeri.bsky.social•97 days ago

Wagner/Jones, good ballot

kickysam49.com•97 days ago

Some interesting omissions but at least Ichiro

heymatto70.bsky.social•97 days ago

I can at least see the logic. I’d add Beltran and maybe a couple of others but I can’t disagree that these are the 4 most deserving who are also scandal free
