Sorry for the delay bringing the poll for #31 up but we’ve been moving within Clearwater the past 4 days. I’m tired, achey, and had to guide the technician on the phone to the proper solution to my internet problem.

Ricardo Pinto takes the 25th prospect position with less than 20% of the 223 votes cast. He received 38 votes (17%). Luis Encarnacion (23 votes), Cameron Perkins (23 votes), and Nefi Ogando (22 votes) were closely bunched for second place. Pinto’s 38 votes and 17% are the lowest scores to win a ranking so far.
I closed the poll on how to proceed after we complete the Reader Top 30. The results were very close –
So, you’ll pick a pitcher and a position player who you think will make a big move and either play his way to the majors, or make a big jump into legitimate prospect status by the end of the season. I guess the best way to do this is a short article so that everyone can voice their selections in the comments section and everyone can see and comment on each other’s ridiculous expectations. (jk) I’m open to other suggestions to gather and display the sleeper picks.
Since 50% responded with a wish to extend the polling process in some fashion, I think a compromise of a continuance to 40 is reasonable. If a person was willing to go to 50, I assume 40 would have been a second choice.
So, I’ll continue with the polls for an added two weeks. Sometime after #30, I’ll canvass for sleeper picks. During the season, the sleeper discussion will be a recurring subject (as often as relevant) to fan the flames of discussion as we marvel/ridicule each other’s selections. (still jk, I hope)
