I think Buckel should be on before Grimm

but I’m not ready to vote either on just yet.

Mendez?

Neil Ramirez again

Nelson Cruz - 2011 MVP

by t ball on Feb 28, 2011 11:10 PM CST reply actions

You look like a profit

now that Ramirez came out in the big league game and sat 95-98. I’m pretty sure the gun wasn’t juiced since Rhodes was just in the upper 80’s. Obviously his velo won’t be that high as a starter, but I really didn’t expect him to even hit 95 this early in the spring. If he has taken another step forward with his mechanics after the rebuild last year, it would be pretty exciting.

Yep, I went w/ Grimm because of the big arm,

but if Ramirez is doing that I might have to change my vote.

Que sera, sera.

Propheteering

I can’t imagine Ramirez working in that range consistently, but in short stints he might. Still, as I said in the previous poll a couple nights ago, he made a ton of progress in 2010 and looks pretty good to me right now.

Ramirez

has been underrated by the LSB community, and I’m not sure why.

Just picking nits...

why isn’t Pedro Strop on here?

After his showing the other day I’m feeling some sex appeal….

Not that I"d put him here…but I’d consider him in the next 5…

went with Mendez

someone is going to have to talk me out of voting Font next. I know it’s a lost season, but I feel his upside is higher than anyone else on the list.

McCovey Chronicles is up to 44 I think.

I’ll do them till people are tired or the season starts. I’m debating cutting it off at 25/30 and then going into the top 10 pitching and hitting prospects.

by RangersSD on Mar 1, 2011 12:26 AM CST up reply actions

20 is probably go enough

I think we're writing off Font too soon because of his injury.

Well,

if we are, he still has plenty of time to vault up in next year’s poll.

I'm likely going to vote Font next

considering he is a top 5 talent, especially in a weaker system than it was last year.

by NothinG on Mar 1, 2011 9:18 AM CST up reply actions

No, voting him somewhere in the 20 range

is still acknowledging his talent while also admitting he still has a lot of work to do to harness that talent even if he returns to full health in 2013.

Jose Julio Ruiz

is a prospect of sorts, according to the early comments from Cole and Parks. I wouldn’t vote for him any time soon, wouldn’t make my top 30 right now, but he’s a guy to watch in either Frisco or Round Rock.
