Make or break seasons in 2010

The next in the line of topics to discuss as the season approaches, I’m going to single out a few prospects that I feel are entering their make or break year. This is subjective, of course, some guys are just late bloomers, though many never bloom at all. I’m only going to highlight guys who need to be placed on the 40 man roster after 2010. Guys who will have at least one season left aren’t in danger so I’m not going to worry about those guys. College guys (19 and older) drafted in 2007 and prep players (18 and under) from the 2006 draft/international signing period are the guys we’re focusing on here. Check below for my list…

Poll of the Day

Just a quick update. In the next day or two I’m going to put together the spreadsheet with all of the submissions for the Reader Top 30 and then post it. Also, since I’ve completed my own Top 30 list, I’ve had some time to work on other projects here, and one of them has been to make some changes and improvements to the SONAR system. The feedback I’ve gotten (from those who’ve participated in the discussions) was positive, and just like anyone who creates anything, I always want it to improve and become more useful, so I’ve been able to make some changes that I think accomplish just that. I’m hoping to have a writeup on Friday with the changes and new data, so check back for that. Also, as we get closer to spring training games starting, I’ll try and put up a daily thread where you can discuss the prospects’ performance. But for today, I thought we’d just do a fun informal poll/discussion, so check below…
