[QUOTE="78pike, post: 879644, member: 4030"] I get what you are saying about Texas being a much larger marketing animal than GT. Out of curiosity I looked up the voting panel for the award. Reading this I don't think the fact Texas has some sort of voting poll among their fans will carry much weight with the voting panel. Golden Spikes Award voting body consisting of [B]national baseball media, select professional baseball personnel and USA Baseball staff, and the previous winners of the award[/B], totaling a group of more than 150 voters. Based on this I think Parada may have a better chance than I first thought. I would think that Kevin's body of work would fare well with the baseball personnel and previous award winners. With the media types who knows. Parada has received a lot of national attention since the beginning of the year, perhaps moreso than Melendez whose hype really started later in the season when the homers started piling up. I'm hoping the baseball types will recognize the true worth of Kevin's achievements and tilt the vote in his favor. [/QUOTE]
