Community Prospect List #1

by colerocks on Dec 4, 2008 8:37 PM EST

As you may know if you frequent Minorleagueball.com, we're currently in the process of putting together the community top 100 prospects list. I figure that, as a way to pass the time, we could try putting together a top 40 prospect list for TalkingChop folks who didnt submit prospect lists before because they didnt have time too or didnt know. It works like this: I'll put 10 options in the poll, and you vote for one of them. Once we've received enough votes or a clear winner emerges, I'll go to the next number. Hopefully our knowledge about the farm system will be enriched in the process.

Also please offer suggestions for who should be in the next pole. While I believe I am good with prospects, I am human and will miss one every now and then.

Here's the poll on #1. If there isn't an interest in doing this, let me know and I can stop.

Freddie doesn’t have a screen name or avatar – he just showed up to vote.

And now it looks like his mom did, too. Or Jason Heyward…….

to cut down on the number of polls why not put the people who got votes for number in order of the number of votes that they got.

sounds like a good idea if gondee will let us do this

To be honest, I don’t really like this way of coming up with a prospect list. It turns into a popularity contest instead of a more thought out endeavor. I appreciate you trying to contribute, but like I posted above, we’ve already come up with a community top-prospect list.

I still think Schafer is our #1 prospect, he is our most MLB ready and our best trading chip.

We can't trade Schafer

Like you said, he’s our most MLB ready prospect.

Please no

This is what ruined minorleagueball. All respect to Sickels and his family but the community went to shit when this got started.

If Brandon Jones was still considered a prospect, where would he be on everyone’s list?

by beeniez on Dec 5, 2008 12:04 AM EST reply actions

non existent… to be short… ive always thought he was overrated. he is nothing more than a bench bat, defensive replacement, or AAAA OF…hwoever u want to put it
