As you may have seen me mention before, I’ve developed a system to rate the performance of our prospects. The system is fairly complex, and I still need to input a lot of data before it’s ready to use. What I wanted to do, while I devote a lot of my time to that project, is run a daily poll here to try and come up with the readers’ top 30. What we’ll do is, every day we’ll vote on the next spot in the readers top 30. So, today you’ll be voting for the best prospect in our system. Use whatever criteria you’d like to use in coming up with your choice, but only post one name per day. Every day as we progress, I’ll post the winner, and obviously after a player wins a spot, he can’t be voted for again. So today, we’re voting for #1, tomorrow we’ll vote #2, etc etc. Just post your vote in the comments section and I’ll tally them up before I post the next day’s spot.

Ok, so we start at the top. Cast your vote for the #1 prospect in the system. You can explain your choice if you’d like, but you don’t have to.

EDIT -> For the purpose of this poll, consider “eligibility” to be less than 50 AB/25 games for a position player, and less than 25 IP/20 games as a pitcher.
