- Zach Eflin
- Ben Lively

I was happy to see Jesus Alastre and Percy Garner receive the Other votes. I will add them to a later poll. No additions to poll #10. Continue reading Reader Top 30 #10
Open Discussion: Week of January 5th
I didn’t have enough time to gather the Winter Ball data. They aren’t posting it with the off season stats, I have to gather it box score by box score. I did get this from the DWL (thru Saturday) as they begin an 18-game round-robin playoff round among the top 4 finishers.
- Maikel Franco – 5 G, 21 AB, 2 R, 6 H, 3 2B, 1 3B, 3 BB, 4 K, .286 BA, 2 E (1 fielding, 1 throwing)
- Nefi Ogando – 2 G, 2.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 1 HBP, 1 GO, 1 FO, 9 BF, 1 Hold
- Hector Neris – 3 G, 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, 1 WP, 1 GO, 1 FO, 11 BF
- Luis Garcia – 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 3 GO, 0 FO, 6 BF, 1 Hold
Not bad, eh?

Of the remaining votes, 8 were cast to pace him as the #1 prospect in the organization.

Okay, so newcomer Ben Lively joins the organization during the vote for #7, receives 5 write-in votes, and wins the first poll in which he is entered. Lively received 40% of the vote for #8, besting Yoel Mecias 119 votes to 41 votes. Just so we get him placed in the right spot, here’s a poll to make a correction, if necessary.

Kelly Dugan is the #7 prospect in the organization. As expected, votes were scattered among many players. Dugan received only 78 of the 360 votes cast (21.67%). Yoel Mecias finished second with 41 votes (11.39%). Twenty-six players received votes. Ten received 12 or more. Ben Lively who joined the organization during this poll received 5 write-in votes. I wouldn’t be surprised to see his total rise dramatically this poll. Should stay interesting.
Andrew Anderson, Cody Forsythe, Tommy Joseph, and Ben Lively have been added to poll #8. Continue reading Reader Top 30 #8
