It's been awhile since I posted anything directly on the blog, and as I go through the various end-of-season awards to figure out who I want to vote for (based on WAR totals) I figured I'd use that as an opportunity to get this up and running again. Here's how the races break down this season...if you want to see career WAR totals for each of the candidates, head over to the "Wins Above Replacement" tab on the lefthand side of this page.
