A shortened list of prospects.  But, you can choose anyone in the organization.

• Juan Aparicio, Andrew Baker, Erick Brito, Ben Brown, Blake Brown,

• Nicolas Torres, Jose Ulloa, Manuel Urias, Gabriel Yanez.

There has been one request to continue past thirty.  I’ll continue as long as we have interest (interest = votes). At forty I’ll decide if we have enough interest to continue.  I suspect we might garner enough interest as long as the owners and players haven’t reached an agreement.

There are still quite a few talented young prospects in the organization.  I think we could easily go on to 50 (or maybe more).  However, we seem to be losing momentum.  Think about this.  Might it be a better idea for those who still have opinions about prospect ranking to e-mail me your personal ranking from 41 thru whatever your upper limit is.  I’ll tabulate and roll out the rest of the poll.

I have no problem continuing with the current format.  But, if interest dwindles, I’d like to avoid having votes where a dozen or more people are voting and some player wins with 4 or 5 votes.  Getting 25-30 people to participate before we lose more interest would at least preserve some semblance of authenticity.  

Think about it and let me know in the weekly comments section.
