Seems like these are running out of momentum.
If y'all want me to stop, let me know. I'm fine wrapping it up here.
But I figured I'd give it at least one more try.
After garnering an entirely undeserved 18% of 141 votes, Neil "The Human Suckstick" Ramirez has won the right to be called the LSB Community #22 prospect!
The List So Far:
1. 1b, Justin Smoak
2. RHP, Neftali Feliz
3. LHP, Martin Perez
4. RHP, Tanner Scheppers
5. LHP, Matt Purke
6. RHP, Wilmer Font
7. (Tie) RHP, Blake Beavan
7. (Tie) CF, Julio Borbon
9. RHP, Tommy Hunter
10. RHP, Michael Main
11. LHP, Kasey Kiker
12. LHP, Robbie Ross
13. C, Max Ramirez
14. RHP, Joe Wieland
15. 1b/OF, Mitch Moreland
16. RHP, Wilfredo Boscan
17. OF, Engel Beltre
18. RHP, Guillermo Moscoso
19. RHP, Omar Poveda
20. (Tie) RHP, Warner Madrigal
20. (Tie) RHP, Eric Hurley
22. RHP, Neil Ramirez
Time to move on to the vote for #23.
The polls are open, so go ahead and vote in the poll at the bottom and feel free to make any suggestions and/or criticisms in the comments below.
And, as always, please don't hesitate to tell me you want on the list for next time.

We know you just need attention.
I say let’s go through 25…
If folks are coming out, then through 30. Viva el armchair!

I kind of enjoy the discussion of the nobodys/sleepers we get when we get down around #30
But I’d understand if you wanna stop at #25, Dirk.

I like the impariallity DTron
“The Human Suckstick” has all the talent to be therebut I do wonder about execution. I say keep going until 30.

Tullis again for me
Groundball machine (3+ groundballs for every flyball) has exhbited outstanding control (1.3BB/9) and the ability to strike out a hitter or two (10.3 K/9). Of teh players still on the list, Tullis strikes me as the one who is most likely to be ranked in the 10-15 range by the time we do this again.
As for stopping the CPP, there are at least ten more interesting names to discuss.

Tullis again for me too

And the little bastard threw it for a swinging strike three in a 3-2 count. He’s blessed. And ballsy.

stop at 25
these are all good prospects but the differentiation from here on out is too difficult. we all have different standards. the fact that people are winning with 18% of the vote says a lot.

yup
25 sounds like a good # to stop at.

I'll go Mendoca
Might as well have one 3b in there before this thing’s done

You are obsessed with bodily wastes A turd being held under my nose, this team being a steaming pile, Jonny Donuts having a stinky diaper, the front office pissing themselves, the team crapping the bed…
I think you should seek counselling.

Voted for Tullis
I’m down for at least 30.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

I do believe...
“The Human Suckstick” was my nickname in college.
I was young and needed the money, don’t judge me.

Beau Jones vs. Jared Prince
How else could we settle who’s prospectyer? Seriously, though, the Great Grullon debate somewhere in the 30s would undoubtedly be heated.

Tim Smith
Best hitter in the system.
Including the majors.

Went Gomez
but don’t mind if Tullis wins. He would have been my next choice.
Kennil deserves far more love and then people need to hop on the Strop and Richard Alverez bandwagons.

You talking about the greatness of Gerrit Cole right :)

I remember that press release just before the deadline that year...
It had said we signed the remaining first rounders, Ocampo (I think), and Pomeranz. But then shortly afterward the revised press release left out Pomeranz…sucked. Does anyone else remember that?

That's funny
I was just about to say that too. Oh well.
by Brett Perryman on Jul 27, 2009 4:40 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I think ending at a weird spot is funnier
than grinding to get to 25 or 30.
Also, Edwin here. such a grab-bg though. You could probably argue for 20 different dudes here.

Oh, yah. Oops.

Everyone needs to drive a vehicle, even the very tall. This was the largest auto I could afford. Should I therefore be made the subject of fun?
