This is the way it's going to work. Ya'll will discuss freely who you want as an IPO. You will then, as a group, narrow down the list to your Top 4 choices. A poll [setup by either Orren or me] will be conducted, and the two choices that gain the top votes will be IPO'd.

All right, let's get this started (in no particular order)...

Salomon Torres
Ian Kinsler
Ronny Paulino
Ricky Weeks
Shane Victorino
Dan Wheeler
Josh Hamilton
Troy Tulowitzki
Shawn Hill
Joel Zumaya

[StockTrader]

FYI: Zumaya went out of the game last night with arm issues. The trainer went running from the dugout to the bullpen, so seems semi-serious.

doesn't really matter to me who gets picked but for what it's worth, i'd vote for josh hamilton, ian kinsler, aaron hill, and my final vote a removal vote for mr. "to hell with the integrity of the game it's all about me" bonds

[rwherley]

I'll vote for Josh Hamilton and the delisting of Mrs Bonds


Does this IPO have to come from baseball or can it be from another sport?

[StockTrader]

Preferrably baseball, but I guess any sport flies.

Go ahead and mark Josh off of your list, he was picked by one of the Pick 10 winners.

As for delisting ... if you want to donate some money to J$, I'll delist him

Money Rules!

[Corwin10]

We never seem to have enough pitchers around here so here are some pitchers I would like to see added.

Adam Loewen SP BAL 2-0, 3.56 ERA
Fausto Carmona SP CLEV 3-1, 2.97 ERA
Jason Hirsh SP COL 2-2, 3.82 ERA
Anibal Sanchez SP FL 2-1, 4.80 ERA
Chris Sampson SP HOU 3-2, 3.90 ERA
Jorge De La Rosa SP KC 3-2, 3.38 ERA
Chad Gaudin SP OAK 1-1, 2.70 ERA
Ian Snell SP PIT 2-2, 2.31 ERA
James Shields SP TAM 3-0, 3.74 ERA
Shawn Hill SP WAS 2-3, 3.00 ERA

[rwherley]

Just scanned J$ players by team...baseball

Danny Kolb is listed as Pittsburghs only reliever so I vote for Salomon Torres who has 10 saves.

Tampa Bay has only 1 starter listed so I vote for James Sheilds who is 3-0 with a 3.74 ERA



I also vote for the delisting of Mrs Bonds
