Welcome to the 2019 Reader Top 30!
Here we go. This should take us through early February. A week or so later, on February 12th or 13th, pitchers and catchers will report. They’ll have their first work out the following day, signalling the start of spring training. The first full squad work out is just a couple days later. The Phillies’ Grapefruit League season begins on the 22nd. Continue reading Phuture Phillies 2019 Reader Top 30 Poll for the Phillies #1 Prospect
Time to get ready for the 2019 Reader Top 30 Prospect Poll. I will start polling shortly, and plan on posting a poll each weekday. We will continue to follow baseball’s standards for prospect lists which states – Continue reading 2019 Phuture Phillies Reader Top 30 Poll
The second annual Phuture Phillies Post Season Prospect Poll has been closed. You were asked to provide your top 30 prospects in the organization as you see them. Your criteria could have included any or all of the following – a player’s present value to the organization, his major league potential, his proximity to the major league, his professional ceiling, his age at their current level, or whatever criteria you feel is important. I received just 17 prospect lists, down from last year’s 43. Continue reading 2018 Phuture Phillies Post Season Top 30 Results
Here are the results of the remaining four “Best” polls. Well, final three polls and one example that some people can’t follow instructions. These final polls are for Right-Handed Starters, Left-Handed Starters, Closers, and the too difficult for people to comprehend Relievers Poll. This concludes the “best of” polls for 2018.

As I stated when I posted back in March, the line between a break out prospect and a sleeper prospect has become blurred the past several years. I pointed out that you endorse whomever you want regardless of the guidelines that James set up years before I attempted to explain the distinction between both. I showed that 60% of 2017’s breakout picks were also selected as sleepers. So, I just let you submit whatever you wanted.
However, I have to sift through the responses. So, after a couple attempts to capture your answers, I did what was easiest for me. I ignored sleeper submissions. In the case of multiple breakout submissions, I went with the first one you listed. If you posted a second comment, I ignored it. Continue reading 2018 Phuture Phillies Break Out Predictions – Results
I’m going to include all the polls in one post rather than drag them out over several days. Based on the drop in participation in the recent James’ Award Polls, this seems prudent.
There are eleven separate polls. Ten we had last year – catcher, first baseman, second baseman, shortstop, third baseman, center fielder, corner outfielder, left-handed starter, right-handed starter, and closer. You can make THREE selections for each poll. The eleventh poll is for relievers and has an explanation in the poll. It’s not rocket science, but I will disregard it if it becomes too difficult to sort through the entries. Continue reading 2018 Phuture Phillies Pitcher and Position Player Polls
The line between a break out prospect and a sleeper prospect has been blurred the past several years. You guys just select whomever you want regardless of the guidelines that James set up years before I took over.
For instance, 60% of last year’s breakout picks were also sleeper picks. So, rather than waste time and space including the definitions, I’ll just let you list your break out prospects below.
Have at it.
