Since nearly every thread seems to evolve into "who starts" I am creating this thread to keep all that discussion in one place. Along with a nifty poll so each person can voice their preferences relatively anonymously. Meaning - I can see who voted, but not what their votes were. Answers are alphabetical to avoid any seeming preferences. You can vote once, and pick the five players you think will be in GENO's starting line up. Not what you personally want to see, or what you "think" should be, but what you think The Boss will do.

Great idea! Now we can have some threads about other subjects. Hope it works.  |

PS We only get to vote once? And only before the European tour?

I voted for the five I think should start. Not the five I expect to start.

Not what you personally want to see, or what you "think" should be, but what you think The Boss will do." |

Why do this, instead of answering the question asked and then also start a 2nd poll that addresses your question? Seriously, a small thing rukia, but why not change your answers to address the question and have a 2nd poll? That would be fun, too. |

I voted for the five I think should start. Not the five I expect to start. Those truly are two different questions, Aren't they. Can we have two polls in the same thread? Is that possible? |

I voted for the five I think should start. Not the five I expect to start. And to be honest, I really don't care who you think will start other than to show that it is so different than who Geno will start. Sorry. |

A poll is a poll. Rukia started making it something else, but at this point we've all expressed our feelings about that. Let's now keep this focused on what it tells us. One outlying set of ballots won't change much if we get enough votes.

He could tell us who he voted for and we can just dismiss it. |

One outlying set of ballots won't change much if we get enough votes. you are right. I think there is more conversation in the “who should start” topic. But that’s not the topic. And clearly the other posters think we should stick to the topic. So, I have changed my answers. 👍 |

just bumping this so others can see it easily. At some point, I suppose we'll pin it, but when I tried doing that, it pinned it to the top and folks won't be able to see that. So maybe Chappy, with her experience, will know when to do that.

I only picked three. But if this was parimutual wagering I'd be covering a few "zero" vote players.

Far more interesting is folks' views on the others, because, after all the sturm und drang, almost everyone agrees that Nika will start. That's obviously not everyone's preference, but the vote helped a lot in clarifying what folks thought would be Geno's preference (in his incompetent, never-winning way). |

This is just so interesting! Thanks for doing it. +1. Thanks Chappy! So, folks are pretty split between Aubrey and Ice as the fifth Beatle. Despite all the debate about Nika, this is really the uncertainty. But because we don't know Ice, we've shifted our debate to what we do know: Nika. There must be some psychological law of displacement with a fancy name to describe it. |

Interesting that one of us thinks Paige won't start!
