Community Prospect #11 (Run-off poll)


Well, at this time, Justin Wilson leads Colton Cain by exactly one vote in the Community Prospect #11 poll. Being a Wilson guy, I'd love to just hand him the win, but that's not how it works, is it? So, here's a runoff poll to decide the winner of the Community Prospect #11 poll. The poll will run until midnight tonight, so make sure to get your vote in by then. Enjoy, and may the best LHP prospect win!

Gotta go Colton

The glare of the spotlight is harsh, and the pressure that success breeds immense. We revere our heroes, but expect much. And criticism can come as easily as praise.

Vote Cain

After the AS break, Wilson has allowed 34 walks in 51 innings.

Voted Cain

I tend to see ZVR and Cain as 10a and 10b, I gave ZVR the nod at #10 mainly b/c of a better reputation coming out of high school.

I can't remember which of these two I voted for yesterday

but I went Cain today and it truly is a toss up for me.

You guys above are trying to make it so cut and dry so I’ll just mention that in AA at 22 Wilson has posted 8.5K/9, a 3.3fip and just 6.9H/9 and .3HR/9. Those are some of the best numbers in our system and even the walk rate, 4.5/9 for Wilson isn’t that much higher than Cain’s 3.7.

yeah

I’ve refrained from taking a side here, although I went for Cain above ZVR in the last poll and same here, but Wilson did have a great season till the last few starts. It could be simply tiredness after adjusting to a tough level. Also management had enough confidence in Wilson to start him out at A+, which says something too, I guess.

I suppose I could've worded that differently

When I said, “Gotta go with Cain”, I should’ve said, “I voted for Cain.” Honestly, these to are, in most people’s mind, 11 and 12. Where to put them at 11 and 12, though, thats the most difficult part
