I have gone ahead and tabulated the results of the voting I started a couple of days ago. I had over 200 ballots, but the number was culled down to 190 for various reasons. Before I get to the results, let me explain one of the columns.
Average position: The average position of the player in the voting. If the player received no votes. I gave them a ranking of 20 for votes because I wanted to stay away from Tambati recieving only a couple of votes and having an average of 7.5.

Some notes:
- Hosmer is clearly the top player, but is not a clear #1.
- Moose and Myers are fairly close together
- Lamb and Duffys' final ranking is almost identical.
- Aaron Crow was the last player to be on at least 50% of the ballots.
Finally, here are these rankings and the ones done by kcscoliny. Comparing the lists, it looks like either method gets the same general order of players.
