May Day, May Day: It’s Time To Vote

Need your input people for the April InsideCorner Rangers Player of the Month Award. The winner will get a laurel and hearty handshake.  Here’s how the voting works. I suggest some nominees. You vote. I’ll tabulate, though I may truck in some Florida election officials to help me out, if need be. Anyway, I promise to run a fair and clean election. Here are your nominees in alphabetical order:

• Frank Francisco: Did not allow an earned run in 10.2 innings over 10 appearances as he converted all six save opportunities presented to him.

• Ian Kinsler: Hit for the cycle and went 6-for-6 on the way to hitting .322 for the month; leads team in homers (7), RBIs (20) and steals (7).

• Kevin Millwood: Has pitched at least seven innings in all five starts, including a complete game and a 121-pitch outing and is fifth in AL with 2.13 ERA.

• Michael Young: Became first player to ever hit three ninth-inning homers in a span of five days to either tie the game or give his team the lead. Hit .295 with six homers and 13 RBIs.

Polls are now open. They close at 7:05 tonight.

  • Ben @ May 1st, 2009 at 10:26 am

    Toss up between Millwood and Kinsler, but I think I go with Millwood. You couldn’t have possibly asked for anymore out of him.

  • alan @ May 1st, 2009 at 10:29 am

    Millwood.

  • Capasso @ May 1st, 2009 at 11:25 am

    Close between Millwood and Kinsler, but goes to Millwood.

  • Andrew in Boston @ May 1st, 2009 at 11:30 am

    Man that is tough, but I have to go with Mealwood because he is giving us something we have not had here in a while. But kudos to franky and Ian.

  • Ranger_Rick @ May 1st, 2009 at 11:44 am

    Millwood, although Frankie and Kisler are just as deserving. I think Millwood is showing us just how much of a horse he really should have been the last 2 years. I just wish his record reflected his outstanding pitching so far.

    Millwood. SP is the key to a good season

  • Ghost of Jeff Kunkel @ May 1st, 2009 at 12:46 pm

    It warms my baseball heart to see so many worthy candidates.

    But it has to be Millwood. Factor not listed, though just as important: leadership by example to other players.

  • Ali @ May 1st, 2009 at 12:48 pm

    Kevin Millwood… THIS GAME IS ALL ABOUT PITCHING PEOPLE

  • Jeremy @ May 1st, 2009 at 1:01 pm

    Millwood. Because of his leadership on the mound.

  • Last of the Romohicans @ May 1st, 2009 at 1:03 pm

    Good Pitching beats Good Hitting.

    1. Millwood
    2. Frank Frank
    3. Kinsler
    4. Young

  • Adam D @ May 1st, 2009 at 1:28 pm

    Michael Young, just so he doesn’t go without a vote.

  • Fred H @ May 1st, 2009 at 1:41 pm

    Frankie F. may be responsible for more wins but I have to go with Millwood because he has set such a different tone for the starting staff this year.

  • turnerd @ May 1st, 2009 at 1:42 pm

    Ian Kinsler

  • Ehren @ May 1st, 2009 at 3:59 pm
