Welcome to the Reader Top 30, I will be releasing a new poll every day Monday-Friday until we are done. Each poll will contain the names of nine prospects and a space for a write-in answer. The top write-in vote receiver (or popular request from the comments) will be added to the next day’s poll to replace the winner. For the initial poll I have used the Top 9 from Baseball America’s Top 10 (the order should be randomized every time the poll appears). Feel free to give a reason for your choice and please post if you added a write-in vote. I will post the winner in the next day’s poll as well as update the title of the poll to reflect the winner.
So without further ado your first Reader Top 30 poll.

Prospect Profiles
One of the parts of the site that needs a huge overhaul and updates is the prospect profiles at the top of the page. I wrote up quite a few at the beginning of my writing time here but they could all use editing and updating. I wanted to use this thread as a feedback place for any corrections that are needed to what is written, as well as profiles that should be moved around as well as profiles that should be added.
I will update this post as I add and update profiles over the next month or so, I welcome any feedback regarding the writing as well as the tool grades. Also if there is anything else you would like to see added to them post that here (this includes any video or scout quotes that you may have that are not up there).
