The Amazin' Avenue Offseason Plan Contest 2015-16 Finalists

It's time to announce the Amazin' Avenue Offseason Plan Contest finalists for 2015-16. There were 41 official entries submitted this year, which is really great. If you haven't had a chance to browse the entries, you can find them all in FanPosts. They ranged from meticulous to silly, and as usual, reviewing them was a treat.

The poll below will decide the 2015-16 AAOP champion, as well as the two runners-up, all of whom will receive prizes. Those are listed back on the post announcing the beginning of this year's contest. As noted there, last year's winners were not eligible for prizes this time around.

Voting begins now and closes at 5:00 PM EST on Friday, November 27. Here, then, are the 2015-16 AAOP finalists! Click on the titles to read each of the finalists' AAOPs in full.

Liquid Love, by IPA

Welp… We came, we watched, we saw our team come oh so close to bringing home all the RINGZ. Other than finding comfort in the arms of a significant other, multiple cold brews certainly helped in getting down that bitter pill of defeat. Which is also my plan for the offseason. Keep them brews a flowing, but not just though my Marine liver (Semper BAC, Ya'll!). I took the time to take Jeffrey Von Silverspoon out for a one on one management year end recap lunch. Yeah, he thinks he's management.

The 2016 Offseason in Review, by FlushtownFandom

You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of prudent ownership hung up on positive cashflow. You're moving into a land of both sabermetrics and eye-tests, of substance and ideas. You've just crossed over into the Mets offseason recap...

Face It, You're Going To Hate This, by metsgiants3380

This is my first AAOP ever.

Certainly a daunting topic that few have dared themselves to go through.

An Offseason Plan by The Nameless One and Nobody Else, by The Nameless One

Hello, fellow Amazin’ Avenue commenters. It is I, The Nameless One. Which you knew already; after all, it says so right up at the top of the post, so who else could it possibly be? It is time for the Amazin’ Avenue Offseason Plan contest, which I am of course very familiar with, since I am an active member of the website, because I am The Nameless One. I am now going to tell you my plan for what the New York Mets should do this offseason.

So, with that in mind, here are the moves that I believe the Mets should make this winter:

Tomorrow is Today, by Ogre39666

As a fan-base we've been living on the idea of tomorrow. "If we survive the lean years, we'll see a fruitful tomorrow", "We just need to be patient", "Let the kids grow and we'll get back there".
