Scoresheet-talk 2001 Preseason Rankings
These rankings are based on a unscientific poll of subscribers to the Scoresheet-talk
list of their ranking of players for a regular continuing league beginning in 2000.
There's no need to vote at every position (or both leagues). Please do fill out a complete
ballot for each position you do vote. For each position send a ranked list with the total
number of requested names. I have a list of eligible players. Signings or trades after 12/18) won't
affect which league players are listed. I will try to make any corrections.
This year, I'm doing things a little differently. I have a separate address for each position
and all voting will be done in the same period. Please, don't send your votes to the list.
The column titled Total is the total number of ranked points. Votes is the number of ballots
a player is named on. Max is the maximum position a player was ranked. 1st is the number of
1st place votes.
