I think that's how i'd do it. My explanations/comments are listed in a comment under Choi's post, but I wanted to put this out there for everybody to see in case people forget to look at the comments.
If you (the reader) have a ballot/changes... throw it in a comment. Let's get some more debate goin on in here.

Wow...I'm surprised you agreed with me on the Griffey and Bonds picks. My rational was actually unbiased with the Griffey pick. I didn't even know he was second in homers in the NL. Secondly, Bonds steroids or no steroids (steroids of course), in my opinion is the most exciting at bat still in baseball. Combine that with the fact that the game is in San Fran, he's gotta start for me. Finally, you left in your comment that you would go with Hanley, however, on your ballot you went with Reyes. So who is it, Reyes or Ramirez?
did i? my bad. i meant to say that i would go with Reyes, but that Hanley is in a close second. I must have just gotten my words twisted up. My bad.
But yeah... i think you gotta have Bonds out there. For the SF reason and because of the excitement factor. Maybe he's not the MVP he was a few years ago (although after April he would have been in my top 3 for NL MVP), but he still is one of the most imposing hitters in the game. And with the all-star game (despite the 'this time it counts' crap) i'm just concerned about seeing that which is most exciting.
and as for griffey... no bias necessary. he deserves it.
