AN Ranks the Hotties : Vote for #2
by iglew on Jan 10, 2011 8:30 PM PST
Email
PrintThere is a very important question that needs to be answered in this off-season: Now that Travis and Chavvy are gone, who is AN's favorite hottie on the team? We must research this.
To find the answer, we're running this set of polls. Vote for the player you think is most good-looking. Or if your favorite is not listed, vote "write-in" and name him in the comments. All AN members are welcome to vote, regardless of gender or sexual preference. Straight guys, it's OK to judge how good-looking men are, so don't be shy. Go ahead and vote. It won't make you gay, I promise.
Dreamy-eyed metrosexual Gio Gonzalez won the first round in a close race, getting off to an early lead on Saturday and then holding on against late-weekend surges from past-year favorites Ryan Sweeney and Rich Harden. Who will be #2?
Since voting is so subjective, I've expanded the list of candidates beyond five. Several of the nominees from last round have been added.
If there's another player you'd like to see on the list next time, write a comment saying "I nominate [so-and-so]" If the hottie you like already has a nomination comment, recommend the comment. Try to avoid nominating too promiscuously. A good rule of thumb would be to nominate if he's the guy you would vote for in this round or next. If there are still two guys currently listed whom you would pick before him, then be patient and nominate him a little later.
Feel free to share opinions or analysis of the hotness of the players. Also, any help in finding better pictures of current or future candidates will be much appreciated.

Tough choice
Do I vote for Breslow because of his brains, or do I vote for Harden or Barton, thus proving my shallowness?
Wait, Breslow’s Jewish? Rich, I hope you can forgive me.

First of all, in the interest of full disclosure ( no pun intended)
they should all be shirtless. Having Sweeney shirtless is a blantant attempt to lure votes away from my Conor. It cheapens the whole process.

The way I figure it, some guys like to go around posing for pictures with their shirt off, and others don’t. If voters feel that is an indicator of hawtness, well, that’s their call.

Scientific method
Over on the prospect poll, for round #10 there was a really close vote between Eric Sogard and Josh Donaldson. To make sure of the right result, there was a special runoff poll between the two. And then when it was suggested that the loser of the runoff should automatically be awarded the #11 spot, it was pointed out that was not a safe assumption and the #11 poll should be held as normal (which Donaldson ended up winning anyway, to no one’s surprise).
That is all very excellent methodology … but I’m not going to do that here. If Rich and Ryan are still way out ahead of the pack, I’m going to award them the #2 and #3 spots, in whatever order they happen to be in when I’m ready to close the poll and start a new one (which will probably be late tonight).

Someone could be deemed hotter than someone else based on a series of voting combinations and permutations that skew the results!!!! How is this not gaining more attention as the budding scandal that it is?
