AN Community Hottie List - Vote for #1
by iglew on Jan 8, 2011 2:26 AM 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.
Fortunately, AN already has a methodology, over on the serious side of the blog. Zonis has kindly given me permission to copy the system he uses for the AN Community Prospect Poll. The difference is that over there they are ranking the guys in the farm system based on how good we think they will be at baseball, whereas here we will rank the guys on the major-league roster based on how good-looking we think they are.
The poll will list five candidates. Vote for the one you think is the hottest. If your top choice is not one of the ones listed, vote for write-in and tell us in the comments who you choose.
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.
The winner of the first poll will be ranked #1 and then we'll have a new poll for the #2 spot, and so on. To be eligible, a player must currently be on the team's 40-man roster. We'll continue the poll until people lose interest, I run out of gas, or until we've ranked all 40 of them, whichever comes first.
For the first poll I'm just guessing at who I think the five leading candidates are, but I'll need hints for whom to add in later rounds, so if there's a candidate you want to see added, make a comment saying "I nominate [so-and-so] for next round". If the hottie you like already has a nomination comment, recommend the comment.
Feel free to share opinions or analysis of the hotness of the players. Or point us to better pictures, if you know of any.

luv this idea
AN works best when it has stuff for for fans of all types, not just statheads.Gio should win if for no other reason that he’s also the most valuable proven A of the group, but sorry it doesn’t include wives so I could vote for Allyson Powell (third pic below).

iglew lied
I voted for Gio and I’m pretty sure I just caught gay; I’ve been sneezing and interior decorating all morning. But that’s ok, because Gio is worth it. And my living room looks fabulous.
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
your living room already looked fabulous, though...

I was following Zonis's procedure
in limiting the poll to just five candidates plus write-in, but I’m considering the possibility of a longer list for #2. It may be that voting here is more diverse than there.
Those who are eager to see their favorites on the list next time can speed it along by helping me find good pictures of them.

The premise of my list is that it is on talent
which while subjective, is much, much less subjective (as it can be backed up with statistics) than something like this. So in your case, you might as well just have the list at 10… or hell, even 25.

It's funny -- I was JUST about to post something about him
I can totally understand fans not considering him if they’ve only seen him on TV, but if you meet him in person it’s like, “Oh hey, he’s actually ok looking” with the appealing baby-face that’s his “saving grace” on TV.

come on, how is Ryan Sweeney in 3rd place????
Mira mi pinche pelo guey!!! Pinche piernotas que tengo de jugar futbol soccer todo los dias con mis camaradas!!!
Um, because Gio is so frickin' hot?
And the Harden picture is crazy sexy, with his shoulders and belly reflecting in the mirror. I had a hard time choosing between either of them. Sweeney, on the other hand, is too blond and square-headed, with sloping shoulders (at least in this pic). And compare his forearms to Willingham’s, and you might wonder why he’s even in the top 5?

I like Gio
but I don’t think he’s very good looking. Maybe he’s HOT, though, and a very good pitcher.
I like the sleepy, sexy eyes.
"Honestly, the more I teach, the more I find myself in favor of medication. I don't think kids should take any, though." - Nico
Would it have affected the vote
if I went with Sweeney’s tat picture instead?

That's why I kinda like the White Sox pic
better than this one. He looks less airbrushed and more… normal.
Not really my type
Gio has it going on, you know?

I miss Chavvy
and Zito too…
of this bunch, gotta be Sweeney. Dude is handsome.
That said, I too vote Jamie Kotsay!!
My wife just asked me if she could vote for Chavy's butt...
At one point in my life I liked Dave Kingman more than Rickey Henderson. I was stupid.

Yeah. At the plate. Uh huh.

Ryan Sweeney is Better Than You Think.
first off: it was a joke dumbs*** and second, who gives a s*** how long you’ve been there? although I will say that being one of the most rec’d posters on a sports blog for the Oakland A’s is pretty impressive to me. it shows me that you’ve attained a level of loserdom that I thought was only imaginable at a Star Trek convention.
keep taking count of your recs on your spreadsheet and one day I promise it will get you laid (fingers crossed).
