"This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
Most Negative:

Might add Worst Speller: Razor.
99% of all numbers only tell 33% of the story so when looking at the numbers remember that numbers is plural...

Next year change the Awards to : 2015 RaisorLike Postees Awards, because Raisor is bigger than life, and will likely ascend to higher plane of consciousness
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.

Most missed poster
Stormy. Loved his posts.
Best Moniker
Wally Poster - Still the best name.
Most Valuable Poster
KC61. Thought provoking and usually spot on. The only way he could improve is if he'd agree with me a little more often.
Most Clever
BCUBB again.
Best Armchair GM
Can't think of a specific name, but someone who believes in churning the roster to avoid paying too much for mediocrity and doesn't get all unrealistic about how much money the team can and should spend.
Best Trademeister
See above.
Worst Typist
MTH123 in a landslide.
Funniest
BCUBB
Best Use of Statistics
REDSMANRICK. Knows his stuff but is usually respectful about it. Too many "stat guys" are way too nasty about it.
Most Long-winded
Everybody is guilty form time to time. My-self included. I'll go with Redeye here.
Most Positive
Sir Charles.
Most Negative
Could be me, especially now, but I was pretty positive going into 2013 (predicted 96 wins). Caveat Emperor only predicted 84 wins for 2013, so for this year, I'll go with him.
Nicest
KittyDuran. We should just rename this the KittyDuran award and make her ineligible so I could vote for some one else. Redsmetz is a close second.
Best Newcomer
Junkhead has good stuff.
Best Outsider
Lots of good ones. Mike Thierry got a lot of unfair crap from some of the nastier posters on this board (you know who you are). I vote for him.
The Marty Brennamen Award
Reds Fanatic seems to do a good job and the game threads flow well when he is doing the PBP.
Best Historian
Tough one here. WOY, BigKlu, ChicoRuiz all do well.
Lifetime Achievement Award
Another tough call. I'll go with KC61 here.
Most Tired Topic of the Year
All the sniping at the Cardinals fans who come here to talk baseball. Without a doubt, those threads show Redszone and Reds fans at their absolute worst.
Moneyball Man of the Year Award
Probably Redsmanrick, but the board is so knowledgeable, could be any of a number of people.
The Lenny Harris Award
Island Red doesn't post much anymore, but he is really spot on when he does.

All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
