I plowed through these, which took some effort.  I'll probably vote for the first one.  As I recall, it was the least dense.  There are two more groups, each with five nominees:

Contemporary Baseball Commentary

Historical Analysis/Commentary

I hope to finish them in time to vote.

SABR Analytics Awards: anyone may vote through February 16, 2015.  Tuesday, February 10, 2015
