McCovey Awards IV

PrintIt's that time again! No, not to give your cat a flea bath (although it couldn't hurt to check). It's the annual Willie Lee McCovey Awards! Started by Salemicus back in the year Aught Six, it's the time where we recognize the wonderful people in our community and pat them on the backs. Maybe even a "man hug" if you're in the moment. Oh heck, why not, go in for a full on embrace. OK, got that out of your system? Cool. Let's do this thing.
The categories are:
Outstanding Newcomer
A n00b who didn't act like a n00b. This person appeared out of nowhere and fit right in with the rest of this gang of misfits and lovable scamps. The cutoff date for new people would be between now and whenever the last award was given out.
Most Informative Poster
If you needed some prime info on a player or an explanation for some obscure statistic, he or she always had the answer.
Most Amusing Poster
Whenever you see one of this poster's comments, your monitor gets drenched with [beverage] from laughing uncontrollably, and everyone around you stares at you thinking you're insane.
Most Spirited Poster
Think of this as our version of the Willie Mac awards. This person exemplifies what the ideal McC poster is. Helpful, team player, all-around good guy, y'know, intangibles. Time to give them some props.
Best Image (Gameday thread)
This award is for an image that is mainly used for GDTs. For example, the Ks or player specific images. It can be something that was Photoshopped, a funny photo, or just something really cool that stuck with you. The McImages directory has a bunch of these.
Best Image (non-Gameday thread)
Any other image that's been posted.
Best Fanpost
Due to the enormous number of Fanposts we create, this category has three winners. This award is for the fanposts that made you think, challenged your opinions, or just gave you that warm, fuzzy feeling inside. Be sure to take a trip down memory lane and check out some of the older Fanposts, so those don't get neglected.
Alrighty, folks. Make your nominations. Once there are at least four for each one, I'll begin making Fanposts for the voting.
Here are the winners from previous years (Edit: Previous winners are not eligible for that award):
2008
2007
2006
This FanPost is reader-generated, and it does not necessarily reflect the views of McCovey Chronicles. If the author uses filler to achieve the minimum word requirement, a moderator may edit the FanPost for his or her own amusement.

You know what they say: holly in, holly out.
"The part of the roster where most of the money is spent, though, is on free agents and guys acquired through trade — guys Sabean did play a big role in acquiring. And they are not good. When you get 2/5 of a pitching rotation for free, you would think you could do better with $76 million than to field the league’s worst offense."

The intention of the “no repeat winners” rule is to have more people recognized. The fact that Natto created different images this year is no different than my jokes being different this year. (OK, so my jokes weren’t different this year, but you get the idea.)
"We're in this thing!" My adopted Giant: "Raptor Jesus" Guzman, "Sweet Jesus" Guzman and Jesus H. Guzman.
Yeah, but the effort that goes into creating those images is much more than what goes into making up a joke. Especially one of your jokes.

Here's the thing about my jokes...
Thinking up a brilliant joke comes easy…it’s the dumbing it down for this crowd that requires a lot of effort.

Y’know, it’s funny how reputations are established. Everyone knows my fascination with Mr. Kim Batiste – 60 total mentions from me. And yet, while I’ve mentioned Fred Lewis far more often (148) – almost as many as jponry (195)* – my enraged defense of Lewis never seems to be noticed nearly as much as my fascination with Batiste, because jponry’s already got the market cornered.
- - all these numbers are base on the players’ full names, so are incomplete. I’ve also mentioned “Frederick” ten times, for example.

I hope to see PiKA on the list for best newb. I still don’t understand how he posts at 5AM our time, after being the last one in the postgame thread… but I’ve appreciated each one, partially because by checking the time stamps one can deduce he’s had no time to sober up.
It’s a strong field methinks, with GrahamCrakkalaka and his sugar highs right in there, and all the folks (like say hey nation, heimy, etc.) that I and others have just gone on to assuming they’ve been here for years.
As for the Willie Mac, I would nominate the Baron. In fact, it should be permanently named the “BaronVonCurrentEvents Most Spirited Poster” award, since the Baron has been unjustly robbed of this award by moderators for two out of three years.
And I nominate Merope for the newly-renamed most spirited award.

If I might make a suggestion
There seems to be two types of fanposts that are nominated. Ones that were thought-provoking or eloquent or funny or interesting or all of the above, and ones that, for whatever reason, generated epic threads.
Maybe we should divide those into 2 different categories. One for best fanpost and one for best thread. ???

I was just thinking about the Fanpost category last night and thought of something: what if we had three Fanpost categories of Heart, Head, and Funny Bone? One for Fanposts that are particularly moving or touching, one for informative and thought-provoking ones, and one for wacky and crazy ones. That way we can cover the different kind of Fanposts without some arbitrary “top 3” list.
