AN Ranks the Hotties - vote for #4
There 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.
Wait, did I say "vote for #4"? Did you miss round #3? No, you didn't. It was a close contest between Ryan Sweeney and Rich Harden, but none of the others were even close, so I've declared them winners for the #2 and #3 spots. I know that's not very scientific. So sue me.
New candidates added this round are Kurt Suzuki and Coco Crisp. Others who have been mentioned as possible future candidates are Rosales, Blevins, and Ellis, but they're on hold for now because I don't want the list to get too long. (And am I the only one who likes Chris Carter? He'd be in my top five for sure.)
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.

After voting for Bailey last round I've just voted for DeJesus this round,
though both were on the ballot last round — proving that when it comes to finding beauty in men, I am utterly inconsistent from day to day.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
For some moods I like women, but yeah.

I had to vote eyebrows this round
He didn’t do much for me last season, but the photo posted won me over. Willingham/Barton/Suzuki all tied for 4th this round.
And whoo! I just bought my airfare for spring training!

3/18-3/20!
But unfortunately, I’ll be in Scottsdale (I’m traveling with 2 Giants fans and 0 A’s fans) 3/19 and 3/20 . Rooting for the Royals (by default) and A’s (of course).

Hmm. This is difficult.
It’s hard to vote for Willingham or DeJesus because I haven’t seen them as much of the other guys, and just looking at pictures isn’t the same.
I will have to ponder.
You and me both, cuppingmaster.
I don’t have pics, but I’ll bet there are better ones of him out there, too!

You are ridiculously fickle.
Bailey, Sweeney. How many guys are going to come before your alleged true love?

Hey, its not a bad move.
Could you imagine if BB had convinced the other teams that Beltre wasn’t as good as he was?
I actually could imagine him doing that
but apparently he didn’t think of that

Oh totally, if he's eligible
I’d vote him ahead of anyone on this list, probably #2 overall.

Do either of you have a decent picture of Cardenas?

If you just put his name into "google images"
it seems like you get a bunch of decent options in the first 10 choices.

Have I mentioned that I'm amused each listing comes with their zodiac sign?
New or old??

Traditional sun sign
I’ve learned a lot doing this. As a regular radio listener, I don’t even know what half the guys look like. And now I know their signs, too.

Does anyone know what the A stands for in
Giovany A Gonzalez? I can’t find that one anywhere. (We might have to get SuSlu to ask him.)

The gf just voted Kurt Suzuki.
"We were shit, pathetic," Guillen growled early in spring training. "We hit too many home runs."
Landon Powell getting 1% of the vote,
with “other” currently outpacing him by 400%, gives me a sad.

Wrong usage of percentages gives _me_ a sad
If Person A has 1 of something, and person B has 4 of that same thing, B “outpaces” A by 3 or by 300%, not by 400%.
