Reader Top 30 #9 – Ethan Martin

Jonathan Pettibone edges Ethan Martin for the #8 spot.  To keep up with variety of choices I have added Mitch Gueller, Dylan Cozens, and Andrew Pullin, the additions will likely come in larger patches for a bit as there are a lot of viable candidates beyond the top 10-12 or so.

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.
