Deivi Grullon takes down #11 with 63 of the 291 (22%) serious votes. Matt Imhof and Dylan Cozens finished in a close race for second.
On the lighter side, Anthony Hewitt received a write-in vote.
Here’s #12, still no new players added. Continue reading Reader Top 30 # 12
With Yoel Mecias’ victory, the top 10 is completed. Mecias accrued 79 of 306 votes and won with 26% of the vote. He fell just short of doubling runner-up Dylan Cozens’ total of 40 votes.
Here’s how our top ten compares to some others –
Some came out before recent moves and haven’t been updated,
It was nice to see Venn Biter and Joel Fisher in the Other vote. They won’t be added to a later poll. No additions to poll #11. Continue reading Reader Top 30 #11
Sorry for my brevity (and no pic) here, but I messed up my hand and am reduced from hunt-and-peck to just peck. You have selected Tom Windle as the #9 prospect. Windle amassed 22.47% of the 316 votes cast and edged Yoel Mecias by 13 votes.
The current prospect ranking is –
I was happy to see Jesus Alastre and Percy Garner receive the Other votes. I will add them to a later poll. No additions to poll #10. Continue reading Reader Top 30 #10
Over 440 votes were cast on where to place Ben Lively among the top prospects. Lively will be placed 6th between Zach Eflin and Jesse Biddle. The bulk of the voting was dispersed as follows –
Of the remaining votes, 8 were cast to pace him as the #1 prospect in the organization.
The current prospect ranking is – Continue reading Reader Top 30 #9
Okay, so newcomer Ben Lively joins the organization during the vote for #7, receives 5 write-in votes, and wins the first poll in which he is entered. Lively received 40% of the vote for #8, besting Yoel Mecias 119 votes to 41 votes. Just so we get him placed in the right spot, here’s a poll to make a correction, if necessary. Continue reading Reader Top 30 Remix
Kelly Dugan is the #7 prospect in the organization. As expected, votes were scattered among many players. Dugan received only 78 of the 360 votes cast (21.67%). Yoel Mecias finished second with 41 votes (11.39%). Twenty-six players received votes. Ten received 12 or more. Ben Lively who joined the organization during this poll received 5 write-in votes. I wouldn’t be surprised to see his total rise dramatically this poll. Should stay interesting.
Andrew Anderson, Cody Forsythe, Tommy Joseph, and Ben Lively have been added to poll #8. Continue reading Reader Top 30 #8
Position #6 goes to Jesse Biddle. Once again, the victory is by plurality (44%) not a majority . Twenty-three players received votes with 7 players other than Biddle (143 votes) receiving double-digit votes.
Willians Astudillo, Manuel Chavez, Rhys Hoskins, Brandon Leibrandt, and Jose Pujols have been added to poll #7.
Newcomer Zach Eflin is your selection by a wide margin over Jesse Biddle (170-95), however, he wins with a plurality of the 371 votes cast rather than a majority (45.82%).
Odubel Herrera, Hector Neris, and Mitch Walding have been added to poll #6.
It’s Roman Quinn by a large margin in what many thought would be a close race. The top 4 prospects as voted by you so far with the # of votes, % of vote, and margin over next prospect –
Although the top 4 prospects received 1371 of 1586 votes cast (86.44%) and outdistanced other prospects by convincing margins, somehow the remaining votes cast for the top 4 spots were divided among 27 different players.
Up next #5, should start to get interesting now. Continue reading Reader Top 30 #5
Maikel Franco is deemed to be the organization’s #3 prospect getting 84% of the vote.
I hope everybody had a Merry Christmas yesterday. The days leading up were saddened by a family event earlier in the week and doubled with more sad news on Christmas Day. The daily poll may be sporadic the next week as I attend to other matters. I plan on posting an Open Discussion for next week, and I hope to post poll #5 Sunday night, as well as a Winter Ball update if enough games were played to make it worthwhile and I can find the time.
Once again, I ask that you consider submitting your personal top 30 to prospectpoll@yahoo.com with the Subject line – Poll. I’m using them to determine who I add to the poll. I can’t use the write-in votes, some of them are pretty wild – Larry Greene, for instance. So nine players who showed up on a majority of ballots are being added today – Aaron Brown, Luis Encarnacion, Zach Green, Franklyn Kilome, Yoel Mecias, Nefi Ogando, Ricardo Pinto, Andrew Pullin, Joely Rodriguez. Suggestions can also be sent to the address above with the Subject line, Add. Continue reading Reader Top 30 #4
