28. Ramon Cabrera
29. Matt Hague
30. Tyler Glasnow

There they are. Glasnow, Hague, and Mercer were the only ones who didn't appear on BA's top 30. They had Victor Black, Brandon Cumpton, and Evan Chambers instead. Of the players that both lists included, the standard deviation was pretty small. If you ignore Glasnow, Hague, and Mercer, the SD was just 2.6 between our list and BA's. Bryan Morris was the only guy with a >10 spot gap between lists (though Mercer, who was 17 for us and not on BA's list, and Black, who was 19 for BA and not even in consideration when our poll closed, probably should count as well).

21 of the players on our list were drafted; five were international free agents; and four came in trades. Ten are RHP; five LHP. Two catchers, four 1B, four MI, and five outfielders. Zero 3B, unless you want to count Navarro there instead of as a middle infielder.

I thought this project started a lot of great discussions, and even though the list is done, hopefully we can keep the discussions going here.

Matt Hague is our #29 prospect. He got 36% of the vote, with Tyler Glasnow the runner-up at 15%.

I guess I'll add Cayonez and Lambo, since they got write-in votes last time. Poll will run for 24 hours.

This is going to be the last time I post the poll. If someone else wants to take up the mantle and keep it going, please do so. If not, I'll post some sort of wrap-up in the next couple days, which we can use to discuss the system in general and everyone who didn't make the list.

Ramon Cabrera is our #28 prospect. He got 29% of the vote in the last poll. Runner-up Tyler Glasnow received 21%. The list:

1. Gerrit Cole
2. Jameson Taillon
3. Starling Marte

27. Mel Rojas, Jr.
28. Ramon Cabrera

I'll add Irwin, Harold Ramirez, and Dilson Herrera to the poll. There were some other suggestions, but I didn't get the sense that anyone felt too strongly about any individual guy. On a related note, there were only 24 votes total in the last poll, which kind of suggests to me that we should end this thing at #30. We're still having some good discussion from time to time, but maybe we can continue that in a wrap-up thread without actually continuing the polling. I'll leave this poll up over the weekend, so everyone can weigh in on whether we should keep going or not.

Mel Rojas is community prospect #27. He got 33% of the vote. Matt Hague was runner-up with 21%.

25. Jose Osuna
26. Gorkys Hernandez
27. Mel Rojas, Jr.

Elevys Gonzalez came out of nowhere with five write-in votes in the last poll, placing him third in the voting, so he gets added this time around, along with Adalberto Santos, who also received a write-in vote. Poll will run for 24 hours.

Gorkys Hernandez ran away with the #26 spot, receiving a cool 60% of the vote. Matt Hague was the runner-up.

I'm not going to add anyone new at this time. Poll will run for 24 hours.

With 37% of the vote, Matt Curry is elected our #24 prospect. Gorkys Hernandez was the runner-up with 24%. The list:

1. Gerrit Cole
2. Jameson Taillon

20. Alen Hanson
21. Yamaico Navarro
22. Justin Wilson
23. Bryan Morris
24. Matt Curry

I'm removing Irwin, Herrera, Joely Rodriguez, and Rojas from the poll, since none of them have gotten votes in either of the last two, but you can always vote for someone who's not listed by posting his name and a +1 under "others." Poll will run for 24 hours.

Bryan Morris won poll 23 with 40% of the vote. The BD community is far more pessimistic about him than the major industry sources (Sickels had him at 13, Goldstein at 11). Matt Curry was the runner up with 20% of the vote. Here's the list:

1. Gerrit Cole
2. Jameson Taillon
3. Starling Marte
4. Josh Bell

22. Justin Wilson
23. Bryan Morris

I'm leaving everyone on the list, including the five guys who didn't get any votes, and I'm leaving the poll open until Monday.

Justin Wilson is our #22 prospect, gaining 35% of the vote in the last poll. Bryan Morris and Matt Curry tied for second with 20% each. The list:

1. Gerrit Cole
2. Jameson Taillon
3. Starling Marte

22. Justin Wilson

I'm going to add some names to the poll to (hopefully) spice things up. I'm adding Candon Myles upon request along with Gorkys Hernandez, Dilson Herrera, Mel Rojas Jr., Joely Rodriguez, Tyler Glasnow, and Phil Irwin. This poll will run for 24 hours.

With 35% of the vote, Yamaico Navarro wins the #21 spot. Justin Wilson and Bryan Morris tied for second place with 18%. The list:

18. Zack Dodson
19. Clayton Holmes
20. Alen Hanson
21. Yamaico Navarro

I'm not adding anyone new to the poll at this point, but if you'd like to vote for someone not listed, put his name under "others" and reply with a +1. If you just want to suggest someone you think should be added soon, let me know in the "discussion" section. This poll will run for 24 hours.

Alen Hanson received 28% of the vote to sneak into the top 20. Justin Wilson finished with 25%, just one vote behind. (As discussed a couple threads back, I'm only planning on doing run-offs if the vote is actually tied. People seemed cool with that when we talked about it, so I hope it's all right with everyone.) Here's our list:

1. Gerrit Cole
2. Jameson Taillon
3. Starling Marte
4. Josh Bell
5. Luis Heredia
6. Robbie Grossman
7. Tony Sanchez
8. Kyle McPherson
9. Stetson Allie

16. Colton Cain
17. Jordy Mercer
18. Zack Dodson
19. Clayton Holmes
20. Alen Hanson

I'm removing Brock Holt from the poll after he failed to get a vote in the last one. If you want to vote for someone not listed, add his name under "others" and reply with a +1.

For the record, I'm planning on doing this as long as people stay interested, but probably not beyond 50. This poll will run for 24 hours.

With 25% of the vote, Clay Holmes is elected our #19 prospect. Bryan Morris was the runner-up with 20%. The list:

1. Gerrit Cole
2. Jameson Taillon
3. Starling Marte
4. Josh Bell
5. Luis Heredia
6. Robbie Grossman
7. Tony Sanchez
8. Kyle McPherson
9. Stetson Allie

12. Jeff Locke
13. Jarek Cunningham
14. Alex Dickerson
15. Zack Von Rosenberg
16. Colton Cain
17. Jordy Mercer
18. Zack Dodson
19. Clayton Holmes

I'm adding Yamaico Navarro to the poll, since he got some write-in love last time. If you want to vote for someone who's not listed, add his name under "others" and then reply with a +1 (please remember to add the +1 so I know that it's an official vote). This poll will run for 24 hours.

Zack Dodson grabs the #18 spot with 29% of the vote. Justin Wilson placed second with 17%. Here's the list:

1. Gerrit Cole
2. Jameson Taillon
3. Starling Marte
4. Josh Bell
5. Luis Heredia
6. Robbie Grossman
7. Tony Sanchez
8. Kyle McPherson

12. Jeff Locke
13. Jarek Cunningham
14. Alex Dickerson
15. Zack Von Rosenberg
16. Colton Cain
17. Jordy Mercer
18. Zack Dodson

I'm adding Matt Hague to the poll, since he got a vote as a write-in last time, and dropping Gorkys for now. These polls tend not to get a lot of action over the weekends, so I think I'm going to leave this one up until noon or so on Monday.

With 31% of the vote, Jordy Mercer is elected community prospect #17. Dodson, Wilson, and Morris were all bunched up in second place. The list:

1. Gerrit Cole
2. Jameson Taillon
3. Starling Marte
4. Josh Bell
5. Luis Heredia
6. Robbie Grossman
7. Tony Sanchez
8. Kyle McPherson
9. Stetson Allie

11. Rudy Owens
12. Jeff Locke
13. Jarek Cunningham
14. Alex Dickerson
15. Zack Von Rosenberg
16. Colton Cain
17. Jordy Mercer

I'm adding Brock Holt, Jose Osuna, Gorkys Hernandez, and Ramon Cabrera to the poll. Other suggestions are welcome. Poll will run for 24 hours.

Colton Cain ran away with poll #16, getting over half the vote. Wilson and Mercer were co-runners up, with 15% each. The list:

1. Gerrit Cole
2. Jameson Taillon
3. Starling Marte
4. Josh Bell
5. Luis Heredia
6. Robbie Grossman
7. Tony Sanchez
8. Kyle McPherson
9. Stetson Allie
10. Nick Kingham
11. Rudy Owens
12. Jeff Locke
13. Jarek Cunningham
14. Alex Dickerson
15. Zack Von Rosenberg
16. Colton Cain

Upon request, I'm adding Matt Curry to the poll. Let me know if there's anyone else you want added soon. Poll will run for 24 hours.

Zack Von Rosenberg narrowly wins the #15 spot with 44% of the vote. Colton Cain captured 38%, and no one else had more than 5%. Here's our list:

1. Gerrit Cole
2. Jameson Taillon
3. Starling Marte
4. Josh Bell
5. Luis Heredia
6. Robbie Grossman
7. Tony Sanchez

9. Stetson Allie
10. Nick Kingham
11. Rudy Owens
12. Jeff Locke
13. Jarek Cunningham
14. Alex Dickerson
15. Zack Von Rosenberg

I'm adding Hanson to the list just because I know he's getting at least one vote. Poll will last 24 hours.

Alex Dickerson narrowly beat out Colton Cain and ZVR for the #14 spot. Dickerson had 37% of the vote, while ZVR and Cain got 30% and 28% respectively. Clay Holmes was the only other player to receive a vote (2). Here's the list:

1. Gerrit Cole
2. Jameson Taillon
3. Starling Marte
4. Josh Bell
5. Luis Heredia
6. Robbie Grossman
7. Tony Sanchez
8. Kyle McPherson
9. Stetson Allie
10. Nick Kingham
11. Rudy Owens
12. Jeff Locke
13. Jarek Cunningham
14. Alex Dickerson

I'm removing Beckman from the list and adding Wilson. If you want to vote for anyone not listed, you know what to do. Poll will run for 24 hours.

Jarek Cunningham takes the #13 spot with 37% of the voting in our last poll. Colton Cain, who seems to have stolen the support that ZVR was getting a couple polls back, was the runner-up with 23%. Alex Dickerson had 20%, with ZVR, Holmes, and Morris also getting votes. Here's the list so far:

1. Gerrit Cole
2. Jameson Taillon
3. Starling Marte
4. Josh Bell
5. Luis Heredia
6. Robbie Grossman
7. Tony Sanchez
8. Stetson Allie
9. Kyle McPherson
10. Nick Kingham
11. Rudy Owens
12. Jeff Locke
13. Jarek Cunningham

Upon request, I'm adding Dodson, Mercer, and Ryan Beckman to the poll as testers. If you want to vote for anyone not listed, post their name and reply with a +1 under "others." Voting was down a bit in that last poll, so I'm going to let this one run until Monday so everyone has a chance to vote.

Jeff Locke ran away with the #12 spot, getting just shy of half the vote. Cain, Cunningham, Dickerson, Holmes, ZVR, and Bryan Morris also received votes. Our list:

1. Gerrit Cole
2. Jameson Taillon
3. Starling Marte
4. Josh Bell
5. Luis Heredia
6. Robbie Grossman
7. Tony Sanchez
8. Stetson Allie
9. Kyle McPherson
10. Nick Kingham
11. Rudy Owens
12. Jeff Locke

I'll throw Bryan Morris into the mix now. If you want to vote for someone who isn't listed, post his name under "others" and reply with a +1. If you want to see someone included in the poll but aren't ready to vote for him yet, post his name under "testers."

In an extremely close race, Rudy Owens gets the nod as our #11 prospect. Rudy got 27% of the vote, compared to 22% for Jeff Locke, and 20% for Zack Von Rosenberg. Alex Dickerson, Jarek Cunningham, Colton Cain, and Clay Holmes also received votes. Here's our list so far:

1. Gerrit Cole
2. Jameson Taillon
3. Starling Marte
4. Josh Bell
5. Luis Heredia
6. Robbie Grossman
7. Tony Sanchez
8. Stetson Allie
9. Kyle McPherson
10. Nick Kingham
11. Rudy Owens

I'll add Holmes to the poll this time around. If you want to vote for anyone not on the list, you know what to do.

Nick Kingham received 53% of the vote to gain 10th place on our list. Rudy Owens was the runner-up.

1. Gerrit Cole
2. Jameson Taillon
3. Starling Marte
4. Josh Bell
5. Luis Heredia
6. Robbie Grossman
7. Tony Sanchez
8. Kyle McPherson
9. Stetson Allie
10. Nick Kingham

The candidates this time around are Colton Cain, Jarek Cunningham, Alex Dickerson, Jeff Locke, Rudy Owens, and Zack Von Rosenberg. To vote for someone who isn't listed, post his name under "others" and reply with a +1.

Stetson Allie is our #9 prospect, receiving 41% of the vote in our last poll. Kingham was a close second at 31%. Six other guys all got at least one vote, so we're getting some nice diversity now. Here's the ranking so far:

1. Gerrit Cole
2. Jameson Taillon
3. Starling Marte
4. Josh Bell
5. Luis Heredia
6. Robbie Grossman
7. Tony Sanchez
8. Kyle McPherson
9. Stetson Allie

I'm dropping Osuna from the poll for now. The candidates this time around are Cain, Cunningham, Dickerson, Kingham, Locke, Owens, and ZVR. As always, post under "others" to vote for someone besides those seven. This poll will be open for 24 hours.

Kyle McPherson takes spot #8 with 60% of the vote. Runner-up Stetson Allie got 28%. Nick Kingham, Jeff Locke, Jarek Cunningham, and Jose Osuna also got votes. Our lists so far:

1. Gerrit Cole
2. Jameson Taillon
3. Starling Marte
4. Josh Bell
5. Luis Heredia
6. Robbie Grossman
7. Tony Sanchez
8. Kyle McPherson

I'll add Cunningham, Osuna, Cain, ZVR, and Dickerson to the poll. If you want to vote for anyone who's not listed, post his name under "others" and respond with a +1. Poll will run for 24 hours or so.

With 58% of the vote, Tony Sanchez becomes our #7 prospect. Kyle McPherson was the runner up with 27% of the vote. Allie, Kingham, Locke, Owens, and Ngoepe also got votes. Here's our list:

1. Gerrit Cole
2. Jameson Taillon
3. Starling Marte
4. Josh Bell
5. Luis Heredia
6. Robbie Grossman
7. Tony Sanchez

The candidate pool will remain the same this time. If you want to vote for someone who isn't listed, you know what to do. This poll will run until Monday afternoon/evening so that people don't miss it over the holidays.

With 51% of the vote, Robbie Grossman becomes our number six prospect. Tony Sanchez got 36%, and Allie, Cain, Kingham, and McPherson all got a bit of support as well. Here's our list so far:

1. Gerrit Cole
2. Jameson Taillon
3. Starling Marte
4. Josh Bell
5. Luis Heredia
6. Robbie Grossman

Neither Jarek Cunningham nor Alex Dickerson received any votes, so I'm dropping them out of the poll for now. In their place, I'm adding Rudy Owens and Jeff Locke as requested. If you want to vote for anyone who's not listed, you know what to do.

Luis Heredia claimed the #5 spot in a landslide.

1. Gerrit Cole
2. Jameson Taillon
3. Starling Marte
4. Josh Bell
5. Luis Heredia

I'm adding Colton Cain, Jarek Cunningham, Alex Dickerson, and Nick Kingham to the poll as testers. If they don't receive support they'll drop back off for awhile. The candidates now include those four plus Stetson Allie, Robbie Grossman, Kyle McPherson, and Tony Sanchez. If you want to vote for anyone who isn't listed, post his name under "others" and reply with a +1. This poll will run for 24 hours.

With 59% of the vote, Josh Bell was elected our #4 prospect. The rankings so far:

1. Gerrit Cole
2. Jameson Taillon
3. Starling Marte
4. Josh Bell

The candidates for this poll are Stetson Allie, Robbie Grossman, Luis Heredia, Kyle McPherson, and Tony Sanchez. After this poll, I'll add Colton Cain, Jarek Cunningham, Alex Dickerson, and Colton Cain as testers. If you want to vote for anyone who's not on the list, post his name under "others" and reply with a +1.

This poll will run for 24 hours.

Poll #3 is now closed. Marte won the third spot with 68% of the vote. Bell got 24%, with Grossman and Heredia getting a couple stray votes as well. There were some suggestions for adding new players to the poll, which I've taken note of, but I'm not going to add them yet. If anyone wants to vote for someone who's not in the poll, just post their name under "others" and respond with a "+1."

Please limit discussion to the "discussion" section, so we keep the actual voting clean.

The candidates for this poll are Stetson Allie, Josh Bell, Robbie Grossman, Luis Heredia, Kyle McPherson, and Tony Sanchez. Poll will run for 24 hours.

Prospect #2 was Taillon in a runaway (near-unanimous vote), so I closed that poll after a few people suggested we should move on. We probably won't see another vote that one-sided, but if anything similar happens in the future and I don't seem to be around, anyone else can go ahead and start the next poll.

Our list so far:

1. Gerrit Cole
2. Jameson Taillon

The #3 spot is where it starts to get interesting. I'll leave this one up until Monday evening, so no one misses it over the holiday. I'm adding Stetson Allie, Tony Sanchez, and Kyle McPherson to the poll. As always, if you want to vote for someone who isn't listed, add his name and a +1 under "others."

Gerrit Cole was elected our #1 prospect with 61% of the vote.

The voting pool will remain the same for this one: Bell, Grossman, Heredia, Marte, Taillon.

If you want to vote for someone who's not listed, put his name under "OTHERS" and then reply with a "+1."

If you think there's anyone who needs to be included in the forthcoming polls, put their names under "suggestions."

I'll leave this poll open until Monday around this time, so we don't miss voters over the holiday weekend. Subsequent polls will run for 24 hours.
