Finally, if you choose, Other, let us know who you think that other will be and&nbsp;and give us your case for them.&nbsp;</p> <fieldset class="poll-box"> <legend>Poll</legend> <h5 class="poll-title">Who will be Baseball's Top Prospect for 2009?</h5> <div id="poll_container_30398_432340319" class="poll_container"> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">25%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Jason Heyward</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">106</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">4%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Rick Porcello</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">20</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">10%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Neftali Feliz</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">44</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">12%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Madison Bumgarner</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">54</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">9%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Pedro Alvarez</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">41</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">4%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Lars Anderson</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">19</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">11%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Trevor Cahill</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">47</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">11%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Mike Moustakas</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">47</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">10%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Other</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">43</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <p class="poll-total-votes"><strong>421</strong> votes | <span class="poll-has-closed">Poll has closed</span> </p> </div> <script> FastInit.addOnLoad(function(){ new SBN.Poll('poll_container_30398_432340319').animateResults({renderImmediately:true});

Below are my top&nbsp;6 candidates for Player of the Year Honors next year (in no particular order), assuming Price/Wieters/Snider do not qualify.&nbsp; I think a case can be made for each and I'm curious to hear what the readers think.</p> <p>Please vote and if there is a glaring omission in your opinion, or you feel very strongly about an alternate candidate please post.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <fieldset class="poll-box"> <legend>Poll</legend> <h5 class="poll-title">Who do you think will be the Top Propsect for 2009</h5> <div id="poll_container_30363_677468171" class="poll_container"> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">6%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Jesus Montero</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">24</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">45%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Jason Heyward</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">161</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">17%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Rick Porcello</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">60</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">5%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Michael Stanton</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">19</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">17%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Neftali Feliz</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">61</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">7%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Brett Wallace</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">27</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <p class="poll-total-votes"><strong>352</strong> votes | <span class="poll-has-closed">Poll has closed</span> </p> </div> <script> FastInit.addOnLoad(function(){ new SBN.Poll('poll_container_30363_677468171').animateResults({renderImmediately:true});
