2016 Mid-Season Community Top 25 Prospect Poll - Voting in now closed

[Noche]

Change from my pre-season rank in parenthesis. I really missed on Brandon Woodruff but the scouting reports are undeniably strong as are the results. He might belong above Phil Bickford. Glad to see Keon Broxton still showing on some lists and I could easily see him becoming one of the most valuable players on my list. Plenty of good players were left off. Brewers instructs this fall will be the hottest scouting spot in Arizona. Even if things go slightly wrong for the Hader, Ponce, Diplan, Peralta, Medeiros, Supak, Derby, etc., the Brewers would still have a plethora of high end bullpen arms to work with.

 

Go Brewers!

[sarcasm]Would you rather have the Brewers 26-50 or the Marlins 1-25?[/sarcasm]

[LouisEly]

All the way to 50 and no Wang? Deliberate, or overlooked? He does qualify.

It was deliberate. He is in 50-60 range for me. I'll admit he is hard to peg but I am just not sure if he can be anything more than a loogy. I spose he would fit in decently with the Wilkerson, Suter, Perrin grouping around 30. Goes to show there probably isn't much difference between 30 and 60. I would rather dream on Franley Mallen or Trey Supak I guess.

The Power 50 needs to be brought back. With how deep the system is you can rattle off 60-70 names easily.

I absolutely love how difficult making this list was. I am even more curious to see where this system is next August 1st. I feel like a few moves are going to be made this winter that should also add to the prospect deck. Taylor Williams and Nathan Kirby(coming back from injury), Zack Brown, Mario Feliciano, Gabriel Garcia and the Texas PTBNL are going to be guys who might shoot up lists next year. That isn't mentioning McClanahan and Stokes who I think have a good chance of making names for themselves. Love where this system is going.

[reillymcshane]

Last day to get in lists.

 

We have over 50 submissions - by far the most ever.

 

It usually takes a few days to get everything together, but we'll publish as soon as everything is set.

 

Thanks again to everyone for participating.

Edit -- The right honorable Reilly says I can't exclude Arcia on grounds that (IMHO) he's no longer really, as opposed to technically, a prospect. Because Reilly's doing all the work, I hear and obey. But FWIW, in my internal happy place we view Arcia as a major leaguer, everybody on my list moves up a spot, and Gabe Garcia jumps on at the bottom.

Obviously I value youth and potential, at the margin, over decent performance at higher levels. Just as obviously I'm a fan of the recent trades and drafts: I think Lopez, Williams, and Miguel Diaz are the only guys on my list who joined the organization before the 2014 draft. At the same time, I try to restrain myself on guys who haven't really shown anything above rookie ball, hence the concentration of young kids at the bottom of my list. I left off the injured pitchers, knowing that a guy like Kirby may easily crack my top ten if he comes back as good as he was supposed to be.

[Austin Tatious]

I'm curious, why the excitement on Gabe Garcia?

Thanks for all the votes, everyone. No more lists will be allowed and no edits allowed going further.

 

I'll post a new Top 25 once all the votes are tabulated. Should be in a few days.

 

Thanks again for all the participation.
