2011 Reader Top 30, #11

Now that we’ve finished up the Top 10, with Justin De Fratus taking the #10 spot, we’re going to speed things up. I’m going to try and get to one vote per week day unless the voting is super close, then I’ll let it run a bit and just take 2 guys for 2 spots and move on. So, vote early. All in all, the top 10 as selected by the masses will look pretty similar to my top 10, but I won’t give it away yet. Once the Reader Top 30 is complete, I will go through my top 30 in sequential order. With lots of detail. I’ve already written blurbs for all 30 prospects, which you’ll find in the 2011 Phillies Maple Street Press Annual, edited this year by friends of phuturephillies at The Good Phight. But I plan to expound on those blurbs here, as well as including a long introduction. My unedited piece there was 7,000 words, I think I can more than double that here. But I’m rambling now. On to #11. Kelly Dugan received multiple write-in votes, so he’ll replace De Fratus in the poll for #11

2011 Reader Top 30, #10

Today we round out the top 10, with Tyson Gillies narrowly edging out Justin De Fratus for the #9 spot. I expect the voting after #10 to get really interesting. Remember, if you want to write in someone, or you want someone else added to the poll, please type the word OTHER in all caps in the comments. When searching for names to add, I do a search for the word other, and then add the names listed. Its easy. Anyway, lets get to it.

2011 Reader Top 30, #9

The voting was fairly close early, but Jesse Biddle stormed out to a substantial lead and takes the #8 spot with relative ease. The voting for #9 should be very very interesting. As I always remind you, if you want to write in a vote for someone not listed, vote the OTHER option, and then in the comments section write the word OTHER as well as your choice. That’s how I find them. Thanks.

2011 Reader Top 30, #8

The voting was close for #7, but Vance Worley takes it by about 30 votes over Jesse Biddle. Julio Rodriguez, Harold Garcia and Justin De Fratus will be added to the poll now. Just a reminder, if you want to place a write-in vote, vote for OTHER, and then type OTHER in your comment when you list your choice. Sometimes I can’t read through 100 comments to pick out who people want to put in for future voting. Lets get to #8

2011 Reader Top 30, #6

We may as well move on, as Trevor May is taking the #5 spot with relative ease. I’ll add a bunch of the names for #6 that were mentioned in the discussion for #5, though I’m sure #6 will be a landslide as well. We’ll see.

2011 Reader Top 30, #5

Brody Colvin takes the 4th spot in a romp. #5 figures to be a battle between Trevor May and Sebastian Valle. Let me know when I need to start adding more choices to the poll.

Reader Top 30, #4

Truckin’ along. Jarred Cosart takes the #3 spot comfortably, so we move on to #4.

Also, I’ve just renewed the domain name for another year, and we’re now coming up on 4 years for the site. It still kind of blows my mind what we’ve become. I try to say it a lot, but again, thank you for continuing to come back every day, thanks to those of you who have contributed with content for the site, comments, and donations (really, a huge thanks for this) over the last few years. Its been a blast, and I’m constantly trying to think of ways to make this place better. Anyway, on to the voting.

2011 Reader Top 30, #3

Moving on, with Jon Singleton comfortably taking the number 2 spot. I’m not going to add another name to the ballot at this point, since its not really necessary. If you want to write in someone, vote OTHER, and then put your vote in the comments. Here we go.

2011 Reader Top 30, #2

In less than surprising news, Domonic Brown took the #1 spot in a rout, so we’ll move on to #2 now and things should get more interesting now. Just a few reminders. If you want to write in someone not listed in the poll, vote for OTHER, and then give your choice in the comment section. Lets just get right to it.
