We’re going to move things along a bit more quickly now that we’re getting closer to spring training, so we’ll do one poll a day. Mike Stutes edges out the pack for #19. I just very briefly scanned the comments, and Drew Carpenter was the only write in vote I saw, so I’ll add him to this round. Check below for more

Reader Top 30; #18
Freddy Galvis is the winner of the run-off for #16, so he takes that spot, with Brian Rosenberg taking #17 by default. We’ll move on to #18 today. Kyrell Hudson and Joe Savery both got write in support, so I’ll add both of them to the voting for #18. Sorry for the delay on the writeup for the next installment of SONAR position by position breakdowns, I’ve been short on time, but I hope to have it done in the next day or two. Check below for more…
Reader Top 30; run-off vote
The voting for #16 is tied and has been within one vote or so for most of the day that I’ve seen, so we’re going to do a run-off vote between Freddy Galvis and Brian Rosenberg. The winner will be #16, the runner up will be #17, and then we’ll move on to #18.
So, vote below. I’ll leave this open for 24 hours.
Reader Top 30; #16
Moving along. Jiwan James took the #15 spot, edging out a few other candidates. With him slotted in at #15, I thought it would be interesting to look at the breakdown of the top 15 according to you
C [1] – Valle (7th)
1B [1] – Singleton (13th)
2B, 3B, SS [0]
CF [3] – Gillies (4th), Gose (5th), James (15th)
RF [2] – Brown (1st), Santana (6th)
LF [0]
RHP [7] – May (2nd), Aumont (3rd), Ramirez (8th), Cosart (9th), Mathieson (10th), Colvin (12th), De Fratus (14tH)
LHP [1] – Bastardo (11th)
So that’s 7 position players and 8 pitchers so far. Lets move on to #16
Reader Top 30; #15
The voting for #14 was interesting, as a number of candidates received a decent share of the vote, but Justin De Fratus edged out Brian Rosenberg by a few votes, taking home spot #14. There was write in support for a number of guys last round, but I saw a few more mentions for Freddy Galvis, so I’ll add him. Remember if you vote OTHER to specify who you are writing in for, as just a blind vote for the other option doesn’t tell me the name. Check below for #15

Time is short today, but I figured it would be good to move along the Top 30. Jon Singleton won in a landslide, taking 67% of the votes cast, which seems about right considering how close he was in the last round of voting. There were a few write in votes, but I only have space for one of them, so I’ll add Leandro Castro to the list for #14. Check below for more…

In another squeaker, Brody Colvin edges out Jon Singleton by 10 votes to take the #12 spot on the list. A number of people expressed an interest in Mike Stutes, so he’ll be added to the poll for #13. Also, check back later for SONAR’s take on 2B prospects, which I hope to have finished up soon. Time is short right now, so check below the fold for the new poll…

Antonio Bastardo took #11 in a landslide, grabbing 48% of the votes. I’m going to add Vance Worley, Rosenberg and Jon Pettibone to the ballot for #13, as both were written in for #11 in the comments. I’m currently working on the top 2B prospects in the minors according to SONAR piece, which will be up either today or tomorrow, so check back for that. Check below for the voting for #12
Reader Top 30; #11
Feel good story Scott Mathieson captures the final spot in the top 10, edging out lefty Antonio Bastardo. Mathieson is going to be very interesting to watch in 2010 and beyond. Guys coming off 3 major arm surgeries are obviously huge underdogs to ever be dominating in the big leagues, but it appears his raw stuff is in tact, so keeping him healthy will be priority #1. Its kind of silly to project anything for Mathieson in 2010, lets just hope he remains healthy and can contribute at the big league level in some form. Now that we’re past the top 10, voting becomes much more subjective and up in the air. Remember, if you vote “OTHER”, you have to post that you voted other and the player you wrote in so I can add him to the ballot for the next spot. In the voting for #10, someone wrote in Justin De Fratus, so he’ll be added. Check below for the next poll…

In the closest voting I’ve seen so far in the Reader Top 30, Jarred Cosart edges out Scott Mathieson by 2 votes, 128 to 126, with Antonio Bastardo coming in 3rd at 117 votes. It should be interesting to see how the last spot in the top 10 goes. It was recommended that Yohan Flande be added to the voting for 10, so it shall be done. Please remember, if you vote OTHER, you have to actually say who you voted for. Its easier for me if you type “Other – voted for so and so” when it comes to me finding the actual other votes. That’s how I’m going to determine who gets added to the new ballots. Check below for more
