Before we get to today’s vote, just a quick programming note. Hopefully in the next week or two I’ll be posting a Q/A with Joe Savery and another one with Keith Law from EPSN.com. Not sure when yet, but keep an eye out for them in the coming days. Jason Jaramillo wins the vote at #13. I saw a few people questioning how a “backup catcher” can be that high. I think that’s a bit harsh, to be honest. Jaramillo’s 2007 OPS was killed by an awful May, and if you remove that month, his overall numbers look a bit better. When considering prospects, you have to not only calculate how good they can be, but what the likelihood is of them reaching their potential. The odds of Jaramillo being a major leaguer are much better than that of, say, Dominic Brown, at this point in time. That’s not to say Brown isn’t a prospect, but maybe a few people just like the probability of JJ over the high ceiling of Brown.
Anyway, onto today’s vote. Update
