The Crane Pool Forum

Cast your ballot NOW!!!! for the Crane Pool's Tom Seaver Award for Outstanding Mets Starting Pitcher.

Vote for up to 10 players, in order, from bestest to leastest, or really, from bestest to 10th-bestest. In the tradition of MLB's MVP Award, the guy you put at the top of of your ballot gets 15 14 points, the second guy gets eight points, seven for the third, etc.

Here's a blank ballot for you to copy and paste into a post below and fill out for the sake posterity!!

While you have up to 10 votes, please remember that there are but 12 players who the universe has made eligible, conspiring as it has to bless these few with the opportunity of starting a game on the mound for the 2024 New York Mets:

• Paul Blackburn
• José Buttó
• Adrian Houser
• Joey Lucchesi
• Sean Manaea
• Tylor Megill
• David Peterson
• José Quintana
• Christian Scott
• Kodai Senga
• Luis Severino
• Julio Teheran

Please remember to vote for them only as starting pitchers. José Butto's work as a reliever, Luis Severino's extensive efforts as an OMG! sign bearer, and Paul Blackburn's extensive side work painting houses shouldn't have any bearing on your selections.

Please vote wisely! Please spell correctly!! We only have one opportunity to get this right!!!

1) Sean Manaea
2) David Peterson
3) Luis Severino
4) Jose Quintana
5) Tylor Megill
6) Christian Scott
7) José Buttó
8) Paul Blackburn
9) Kodai Senga

Six of my top seven guys being healthy all year is pretty great.

Yeah! Two ballots in! Go, Crane Pool!!

In the tradition of MLB's MVP Award, the guy you put at the top of of your ballot gets 15 points, the second guy gets eight points, seven for the third, etc.

Isn't it 14, then 9,8,7, etc
The 14 sounds correct to me plus, without the 9 point score, your method runs out of points with the 9th guy. 2nd = 8; 3rd = 7 ... 9th = 1; 10th = Bupkis

Sorry, 14 is correct.

Damn, I thought that was ballot #3!
