AN Hottie Poll #6 - Runoff

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. Anyone on the A's 40-man roster is eligible. 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.
Voting for #6 was too close to call. Andrew Bailey and Daric Barton finished in a dead heat with 13 votes each. Josh Willingham and Kurt Suzuki were right behind with 12 and 11 votes respectively.
Voting was light all around, which raises a second question: Is this only because a quick succession of fanposts pushed this one off the sidebar too soon, before some people had a chance to see it? Or is it because the idea has run its course and is no longer very interesting? Maybe it's enough to just rank the top five and leave it alone beyond that.
Therefore this week's poll has two question in one. First, choose your favorite hottie from among the four runoff candidates. (No write-in option this time, since it's a runoff.) Then say whether you want to continue these polls beyond #5. SBN software doesn't allow for two separate questions, so it's just one double question; pick the choice from among eight options that answers both questions for you.

I haven't voted in all of them
But I enjoy reading and voting, and appreciate all the work you’ve put in, Iglew, so I hope they continue, but we shall see how the poll turns out!
I say let’s keep going, at least for now. I applaud AN for taking this brave step — normally, I’d have to visit Ladies… to find this kind of hard-hitting journalism.

If Andrew Bailey doesn't crack the Hottie List, it will be a travesty.
All flash no substance hair twirler.
Is someone stuffing the ballot for Daric?
Please only vote once. If you’re registered, it will only let you vote once, but there are fairly simple tricks you can do to cheat. Please don’t.

It's a sad world

Uh-oh, I see some thunderclouds gathering over you.
Fan: "Yeah, whatever. You’re wrong." Stat guy: "No, you’re wrong." Fan: "Cool. Pass me a beer." Stat guy: "Here you go." Sigh, if only it was this easy.
I didn't go into the poll
until I got home because I can’t vote from my phone so HA! wasn’t me..but I love whoever did it

Wherever there's voting about hot men...
…that’s where I’ll be.
"This must be heaven," he says.
"No. It's Oakland."
So what does the winner get?
it looks like Pam thinks Bailey should get in so I’ll vote for him.
But seriously, folks....
When are we going to have a Meta AN Community Hottie's List?
I vote Pam #1 :)
I have abandonment issues. Thanks Lew.
DARIC. BARTON.

Long, long ago, in a stadium far away...
… they’d mike’d up somebody — maybe the third base ump. Pete Rose made it to third and during a lull the umpire said:
“Hey Pete — the umps all took a poll and voted you second-best looking Phillies player.”
“Oh, yeah — who won?”
“Everybody else tied for first.”

that is awesome

Y'all can unrecommend this fanpost now.
It no longer needs to be on the sidebar.
