Pirates add 29 year old right-handed hitting OF since the Red Sox Designated him for assignment when they signed J.D. Martinez. Still qualifies as a rookie and has power potential. Should he be added to the poll?

No ... 29-year rookie. If you say should we add him to the suspect list, I would agree. Something about a 29-year old rookie doesn't sound appealing.

I voted no, it would be embarrassing for him to finish 58th.

Garrett Freaking Jones? From the righty side

Considering that he's about to have more ML success than half of this list, I'd think he should already be listed

Lol! There is actually a lot of truth to that!

There is. The tendency seem to be to vote in someone that will be a future swingman/long relief guy in favor of someone that's doing it now.

Right now to me he is Jordan Luplow 5 years older. The potential looks like it could be there to be another Garrett Jones. These are players that are complimentary pieces on a good team and shouldn’t be discussed when talking about him potentially being the opening day starter in left field. Good teams don’t have these kinds of issues.
