2009 Cardinal Blogger Awards Nominations

Daniel Shoptaw by Analyst Written on November 08, 2009
For the third consecutive year, the members of the United Cardinal Bloggers will be voting on various aspects of this past season so as to bestow the Cardinal Blogger Awards.  It's sort of the unofficial kickoff to the UCB year, as this was the first project we ever did as a group back in 2007.

The rules are simple.  Each member blog will post their selections on November 20.  I will tally up the votes and post the results soon after.  For every vote, a write-in selection is allowed.  Members may split their vote in any category two ways, but no more than that.  If they want to recognize more than two players or people, a group (i.e., the bullpen, the bench) must be selected.

So, after the jump, the nominees for the 2009 Cardinal Blogger Awards, presented without any commentary or argument.
