Community Prospect #8


All right, it looks like Jeff Locke has beaten out Luis Heredia, so let's move on to number eight. Here's your list so far:

 

1.  Jameson Taillon

2.  Tony Sanchez

3.  Bryan Morris

4.  Rudy Owens

5.  Stetson Allie

6.  Starling Marte

7.  Jeff Locke

 

A little analysis: it looks like the folks at BD generally tend to value floor a little more than some folks, given the selections of Morris and Owens over Allie, as well as Locke over Heredia. I certainly identify myself as being in this camp to an extent, but it's certainly interesting to get a read on how everyone else thinks on the subject.

Anyway, I've exceeded my 75 words, so I'll let you get to it. Let's see whether Heredia can obtain 90% of the vote, as the last poll indicated he might.

Last note: the poll options have been increased further. I think I got everyone mentioned in the last poll, as well as a few more. Let me know if there's any other reasonable options I've overlooked.

I voted for Heredia

after voting for Locke last time… my next choice would probably be Justin Wilson.

I went against the grain

and voted Lambo. I’m sure Heredia will win, and I totally understand that his upside is arguably the best in our entire system. I just feel like he’s so young that there’s a much bigger chance of him flaming out. If he was 18 I’d feel much differently, obviously. Ironically, what makes him so exciting is also what makes him kind of terrifying (as with so much of life!)

i went Lambo too

but i was tossing up between Lambo/Heredia/Cain/ZVR

(and I think that’s my order for those 4 right now)

As wg1of5 said, I m not going by floor, rather what I like to think of as average case, given what we know.

I'm glad Heredia is finally getting some votes,

I thought for sure he would be ahead of Locke, and maybe Marte… Maybe next year, Luis, maybe next year.

Our minor leagues are so much better now

Than four years ago, most of these guys left probably would have been in our top five prospects

I voted for Exicardo Cayonez strictly for his name

by 2010 will be the year on Sep 3, 2010 9:25 PM EDT reply actions  

Probably Heredia and then Cain/D’Arnaud.

by Adam Reynolds on Sep 3, 2010 9:30 PM EDT reply actions  

Heredia all the way

I like JWil better than Chase at this given point.
