Community Prospect List - #21

With the top 20 finished, the list finds itself with several players needed to fill spots on the list. Lets see how we go with the A's top 20 prospects up, and if we can get to 50 like we did last year. Henry Rodriguez goes on the list, and Matt Spencer was traded before he made it, so two new players have been added.

Don't forget to add players whom you think should make the voting list in the comments. And just for a refresher for qualification:

The qualifications to be voted onto the list are simple. The player in question must be eligible to win a Rookie of the Year Award for the 2010 season-that is, he must be a rookie to start the 2010 season. Well, not quite. To make it simpler and not have to count days on the active roster, we will be going with 130 AB or 50 Innings Pitched.

Community Prospect List - #20

NOTE: I am promoting this to the front page because these CPL's are always highly rec'd, great for discussion, and have nothing to do with the past. Plus anyone with a "Z" in their name is alright by me. - 67M

Community Prospect List #18.5 - Runoff

I was hoping that if I left it long enough, there'd be a clear winner. That was not the case, they were still stuck between 3 votes of each other, so its runoff time again.
