Now we have the final 50, it’s time to rank these in order. The form linked at the bottom of the page should allow you to drag and drop these from the left to the right. They will be initially in a random list. You can order them as you see fit, either as you drag and drop, or once you have moved them all over into a rough order, you can then fine-tune your rankings before submission. A username field is provided: this is not required, but as it says on the form, if you don’t provide a valid user, your submission will be checked to make sure it’s neither trolling nor ballot-box stuffing.

Link to the poll

Note: the poll might not work too well on mobile devices. Sorry, but it wasn’t easy to find a free survey source that handled this kind of ranking, and also allowed for an unlimited number of responses and answers. Hopefully everyone will be able to work through it, though I reserve the right to burn it all down to the ground and restart the poll if that proves necessary! Below, you’ll find some basic stats for all of the candidates, 25 position players and 25 pitchers, which might be of use. But, of course, you should be using your own judgment as appropriate.

Ballots close when the calendar turns from 2017 to 2018, and we enter the 20th anniversary year of the Diamondbacks. So that’s the stroke of midnight on Sunday night. We’ll then tabulate the results and begin the rankings on January 1st.
