It’s almost time for this year’s Readers’ Top Thirty. I will start polling sometime after the Rule 5 draft. I want to give Trader Dave time to move or add prospects before I start running the polls. In the meantime, I’ll be preparing the polls. To that end, I’ve included a list of players to include in the polls at the bottom of this article. Let me know if I’ve missed anyone. It’s a long list. I can’t imagine I missed a prospect, but let me know. I’ve removed recently traded Logan Cerny and added recently acquired Donny Sands.
I will continue to follow baseball’s standards for prospect lists which states –
“To be eligible for a list, a player must have rookie eligibility. To qualify for rookie status, a player must not have exceeded 130 at-bats or 50 innings pitched in the Major Leagues, or accumulated more than 45 days on the active roster of a Major League club or clubs during the 25-player limit period, excluding time on the disabled list or in military service.”
Players who exceeded their rookie status during the 2021 season – Nick Maton, Rafael Marchan, Luke Williams, Bailey Falter, JoJo Romero, Connor Brogdon
Notable players who still maintain rookie status – Mickey Moniak, Matt Vierling, Adonis Medina, Hans Crouse, Christopher Sanchez, Damon Jones, Kyle Dohy, Donnie Sands
Players who are gone – Arquimedes Gamboa, Mauricio Llovera, Ramon Rosso, Cornelius Randolph, Edgar Cabral, NIck Fanti, Aneurys Zabala, Rodolfo Duran, Luke Leftwich
Ch -ch-changes
- The ballot will be all-inclusive with all eligible players listed in alphabetical order. It’s easier for me to remove names than create daily polls.
- Comments will once again be permitted.
- I’m not going to ask for individual top 30 lists. I don’t receive enough participation to make collecting them worth it.
- I reserve the right to set aside any outcome if I determine that anything irregular occurred.
We should be able to get a representative example of how the Phuture Phillies community values and rates our prospects.
Features of this poll include –
- As mentioned above, the names will be in alphabetical order.
- The Other option will be OFF.
- You can choose ONE prospect.
- Repeat voting is blocked.
- Results have been hidden in the past. I may continue that policy.
