[Farm Semi Finals] The Merge

[Thieving Giraffe]

A vote for Hidden Gems is a vote for Matt Cooke.

Too funny.

+1 for The Barn

[horrorfan]

I'm liking the results so far.

Haha, I voted for The Hidden Gems.
That's a sick name!
I don't mind "The Barn", but basically we're looking for prospect information and I don't see how anything other than Hidden Gems suits this section. I've learned more about lesser known prospects in this section than I have on any other site.

What? I don't think this section is for prospects.

But there will be hidden gem writers. I had a good post about it a while ago:.................

"Hidden gems and the Reserves could both win it all

The reserves is concise and is the best one word description of what the farm will be.

The hidden gems is more descriptive and probably more accurate as to what they were looking for when they created this section. They were not looking for "reserves" exactly, "reserves" seems to denote people who are not good enough for the front while I think they are looking for hidden gems, people with the talent to write but have just not been tapped yet. They could and should be out front but have not yet got the break needed."

I like that post

Barring a final surge in votes for others, it's looking like the Hidden Gems are safely in the finals. I thought the Barn would have more - should be an interesting final day's voting.

A hit in the ramblings can more than sway different options.

Nothing is safe and should be an interesting finish.

I am going to make a shameless pitch for my entry-

The Miners- Diggin' Deep

I think a great marketing campaign can be done with this name, as well as the Mascot- "Digger"

Spin offs or add ons are endless ie Master Miner's or Goal Miners

Remember the Miners are Diggin' Deep to unearth fantasy gold!

I'm not a graphic designer but I think Digger could look something like this or the other logos I have already posted.

VOTE The Miner's- Diggin' Deep

Yeah, I thought this was more of what GMG was thinking when he started the process... building on the farm team concept (example: Sudbury Wolves). I was a little surprised to see that the numbers hovered around 30 voters for each round. I think this means that a lot of regular readers may have been a bit confused too.

For comparison, the current poll on the Hart Winner has over 650 votes.

Unfortunate for such a good idea.

How can it not be "DBA"???

I may have spoken too soon - it's getting closer. Interesting finish indeed.

Out of my three favorites, it's looking like none will make it. Only one even close is The Barn.

Dobbergarten and The Dobbler Effect are getting killed.

Dobber's Black Aces over the Barn? Seriously? C'mon people, get your mind right! Go Barn Go Barn Go Barn.

BARN OR BUST.
