Elimination Game (Added Poll)

PrintUpdate3: Check out the poll.(End Update)
Update2: Just to clarify, once a player drops off the list, they are off for the rest of the game. (End Update)
Update: Since there are several players on the list, it would be virtually impossible to actually knock them all off with just each person voting once. Let's not stuff the proverbial ballot box (i.e. don't comment 20 times in a row) but I think voting once a day is totally reasonable. Now that some of the obvious villains are out, I'm interested to see how the rest shakes out. (End Update)
So I was bouncing around the internet procrastinating on going to the gym and doing my engineering homework, and I stumbled across what looks like it could be a fun game. It's really simple. I've created a list from the last 5 years of the more notable Cardinal players (apologies to the Ray King's and Tony Womack's of the Cardinal legacy). Each player starts out with 10 points.
The game works like this. Each commenter adds ONE point AND subtracts ONE point from any two players they want. You have to do both. When a player reaches 0 points, they're out. I think it will be fun to see who gets the boot first and such.
Or this thread will flop horribly and no one will care. In any event, it's Februrary and a few more weeks till pitchers and catchers report. Just place your plus and minus next to the person's name and change their point total. (Watch out for comments that overlap...they could be problematic)
10 - Pujols
10 - Rolen
10 - Edmonds
10 - Carpenter
10 - Marquis
10 - Suppan
10 - Izzy
10 - Morris
10 - Lankford
10 - Matheny
10 - Renteria
10 - Drew
10 - T. Martinez
I've got some villains in there and some obvious heroes... There isn't any rigorous rules to how you vote. If you want to take a point off Pujols, more power to you. Also, I know that this list leaves off a lot of Cardinal players but otherwise it takes forever.

carried us where?
The '96 team had lots of key contributors, but if anyone put the team on his back and carried them it was Jordan, not Lankford.
My feelings on Sugar Ray are mixed in general. On one hand he never really lived up to his potential as a 5-tool player and always struck out too much. He fucked up his shoulder making a great catch and I certaintly can't fault him for that, but for much of his career it seemed as if he was at his best when the least was on the line. To this day, anytime anyone hits a meaningless HR in the 9th inning (or scores a meaningless TD in the 4th Quarter for that matter) I call it a "Ray Lankford Homerun".
Ray did have great range in the outfield, and he did have some very good years at the plate - but I can't help but think with his talent he should be headed to Cooperstwon w/ a World Series ring on his finger.
Still, he did hit more HRs at the old Busch Stadium than anyone else, even homering in his final career AB to help the 2004 Cardinals win their 105th game of the season. So he's got that going for him...which is nice.
Eh...
And with RISP, his stats actually improved over the course of his career, even if somewhat marginally. Having Mark McGwire and his rock-like mobility constantly getting walked ahead of you is certainly something that will make you swing for the fences.
No love for Strike Out Ray

Matty Mo was my guy for a very long time, until he went to SF...I have never liked that team. I didnt like them when i was young because their jerseys are horrid...But i hate them now because i think the ownership is made up of a bunch of morons...and when i think of the Giants I think of A. Barry Bonds and then B. Losing Matty Mo and Mikey Matheney...

Edgar's dropped, so figured I'd do my part to speed him off the list.
As for the + -- Soup was never as talented or spectacular as Albert, Jed, Carp, Rolen, or Morris at their peak, but the guy made the most of his average talent in some of the biggest games for this franchise in the last few years (e.g. NLCS game 7 in '04 and '06). Gotta give him props for that.
tied in bottom of the 6th, bases loaded, 1 out
When Suppan escaped the jam, he neutralized the Mets momentum, and it was GAME ON!
We've seen so many of our guys (even the good ones) wilt under that kind of pressure in a hostile environment - watching Suppan (and later Wainwright) hold it all together with a spot in the World Series on the line - he's earned a place in the Cardinals Pantheon as far as I'm concerned.
That being said, I hope we light him up every time we see him from this point forward.

Poo - Let's all not forget how wonderful it is to have the nationally recognized best player in baseball on our team - that came from our minor leagues - not some quarter of a billion ARod signing
Matheny - the ruining of Ankiel remark really hit home with me, still love the guy but he's out of his league on this list

Morris had a handful of great seasons, but he never fully lived up to his ace billing except for a couple of years.
How much worse would the '90s have been without Ray?

My wife's family is having a "superhero" themed birthday party. The kids will be Power Rangers. She asked me who I wanted to be and I said "the superhero of baseball - Albert Pujols. He transcends mere humanity" She shook her head and walked away and I will indeed go as Pujols.
I think I have moved beyond man-crush and I now border on obsession.

Morris was the staff ace for a couple of years, and he deserves credit for that. But Izzy has been a great closer for a longer time period, despite his injuries.
By the way, I don't think any of the top four on this list will ever be eliminated; we'll basically be canceling each other's votes as one or two points shift from player to player. This is a fun game, though!

30 Rolen
Carpenter is awesome, no doubt about it, and certainly deserving of being in the final 3-4. But as for the quantity of quality play, he has to fall in behind all three of the other remaining guys, particularly Jimmy and Albert. He just hasn't been with us long enough, and didn't help in the '04 playoffs.
While we're docking guys for missed playoff time, Rolen will likely have to come in third here, ultimately.
With my third vote...
33 Edmonds (-1)
32 Carpenter (+1)
30 Rolen
Now we're back in numerical order. This will take a while for it to end especially when we get down to 2. I think that Carpenter has done so much for the Cardinals these past couple of years that I sould give him one point. The last 5 years Edmonds has had 3 good and 2 bad ones which should explain my vote.

How do you not vote for the guy who won the third Cy Young in franchise history? Only that Gibson guy won more.

I couldn't help but think of Pujols' scoring 100 on the citizenship test as a Bill Brasky moment. Of course he scored 100.
Hell
Also, this elimination game will never, ever end. There's no way.

Nonetheless, I'll do my part for today:

With all due respect to Lawman
The line is 6 wins, 59.2 innings pitched, 3 ER, 57 strikeouts, ERA 0.45. 3 cmplete game shutouts.
The man earns a point for that.

My reasoning: If baseball ended today, who would be most likely to make it in the hall? It doesn't seem fair to judge JEd against what may or may not become of the future of Pujols and Carp. Plus, I love the highlight reels in Center Field.

I do believe
11 Edmonds -1
10 Carpenter
7 Rolen -1
Hate to do it but at the moment he is not in the same class as the other three. He was, but I don't believe so any more. I sure hope I'm wrong.
I agree
10 Edmonds -1
11 Carpenter +1

and we would have won 90+ games if he hadn't tried to kill himself in chitown last season.
Will voting continue over the weekend?

I dont think that Rolen is the worst of these 4 in the past five years, sure he's been hurt and hasnt preformed great in the playoffs but he is still among the best at his position.

Albert is clearly not just the class of the field but all of baseball. Carp is one of the few true aces in the game. A healthy Rolen as good if not better than any one ever on his corner (all around). Then there is (a healthy) Jimmy. An outstanding centerfielder but not near as dominating at his position comparatively speaking. I'm not saying he's not a super star but. Check out others with comparative numbers aka Andrue Jones.

Will Carpenter still be here in the morning?
Does anyone fear a vote for Pujols is a vote for HGH? Who's to say, but didn't we all go ga-ga over Big Mac in his day? Don't deny it.
It hurts to even think about, but I fear that in the not-to-distant-future, we'll be feeling betrayed once again.

We have a winner!
Is 300+ comments a new record for a diary?
Looks like everyone might like a historical version of the Cardinals according to the poll, but I think I'll give it a bit before we start that. Don't want to burn everyone out on this thought intensive game!
it got me through the most boring 2 weeks
