THE HOT CORNER
We have this thing for Internet baseball writers who are outside of the BBWAA, called the IBWAA. Each year we get an Awards ballot and a Hall of Fame ballot.

In the AL MVP Finalist list they included Marcus Semien, a guy I loved all year. Obviously they have a strong resistor in place that drags down pitching, because I had Gerrit Cole.
