Kinda like the "A's survivor" game going on at the A's board, but a bit different.
I got this idea from another forum not dealing with sports.
Anyways, here's how it works.
Everyone on the 40 man roster/prominent names from the Coaching staff and management* is awarded 10 points. You then respond with a + to your favorite player on the list and a - to your least favorite, adjusting the scores as neccesary.
This keeps going until all but one person is eliminated (when the score reaches zero, he's gone)
For the sake of allowing the game to continue for awhile, and not being able to quickly eliminate someone when no one else is on, only vote once per hour.
in the event of trades i'll adjust the roster as neccesary, with the newcomer getting the default 10 points and the departee being automatcially eliminated.
* - I'll add all the other coaches if you all want me to, but I figured that'd drag the game on a bit too long with names that we don't really pay much attention to (such as 1st base coach Tony Muser)
Anyways, here's the roster, along with my first vote.
+ Jake Peavy
