I am also introducing this spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aq9atTaYBdErdDFibUpEVENleTB0Mnk1X0dSb19DSWc, which for now has the industry/blog rankings (mlb.com still hasn’t been edited according to Jon Mayo on twitter so I will update the list when he does, I have also removed the traded people from the Reading Eagle list, as well as the rest of the BA Top 30).  I will post it every day with the new poll, at the end you will have the opportunity to post your personal top 30s for me to add to the list.
