When voting in each poll, remember you are choosing which team most closely resembles the 2009 Dodgers.  Take into account the regular season record, postseason performance, and strength of offense and pitching.  For instance, if you think the Dodgers this year will finish 90-72 (.556) with a 110 OPS+ and a 100 ERA+ you want to vote in each poll for the club that is closest to your projection (in this hypothetical example, you would probably hope 1971 makes the final four.
