Top 20 in MVP

on the lines of the all-star tallies where you can see the top 20 at each position it would be nice to see the top 20 in MVP.

If this gets added would it be too hard to add this to ROY voting too?

personaly I think the rookie award is too flawed to be that useful. A rookie hitting .300 with 20 HR in 390 AB will loose to a rookie hitting .265 with 1 HR in 600 AB every time. And pitchers almost never get in the top 5. If it was tweaked it might be interesting.

I'll look into adding this - I would probably add it for all 4 categories if I did it.

Personally, i like it how it is. Even though it is nice to see where your guy is at in the voting, I think it is better if it is hard to make it onto the MVP list. That makes the MVP list mean something (as it does now). If it was a top 20 in MVP voting then it really wouldn't mean much. I say that if you want to see where your guy would be in the MVP voting and he is not in the top 5: then look at the all-star votes.

Right now if someone says this guy was an MVP canidate 5 years in a row. I can say 'wow that is impressive'. If it was top 20 and some one said he has been a canidate 5 years in a row I would say 'so.' Alright sorry I kind of ranted but if we do this then eventually the all-star page will be the "players who get playing time list"

I think he is talking about the feature where you can click on the link to the position and see every player with votes - there would be a similar link for MVP.

Is the vote system based on the BBWAA real-life system, or is it calculated differently? I'd just like the details...

I believe the MVP and Cy Young voting are directly tied into the number of All-Star votes. As best as I can tell, the guys with the most overall votes are always the top candidates. I do think there are flaws in the calculations (runs and steals seem a bit overvalued), but overall it's a great feature.
