Cue the picture of Cosmo Kramer. His namesake wins the #25 poll. Replacing one high-drafted middle infielder with another, this time Steven Alamais. Hasn't been any banter as far as who to add next, so let me throw out some names- from last year's poll, Pablo Reyes, Montana DuRupau, Gift Ngoepe, Carlos Munoz and Wyatt Mathison haven't been in the mix yet. Erich Weiss, Jared LaKind and Tyler Webb, in camp; former top prospect Luis Heredia; starters Dario Agrazal and J.T. Brubaker; mostly OF or 1b, Jerrick Suiter, Michael Suchy, Elvis Escobar and Edwin Espinal.

The top 25:

1 Austin Meadows 21 OF AAA

2 Tyler Glasnow 23 SP AAA/MLB

3 Josh Bell 24 1B/OF AAA/MLB

4 Mitch Keller 20 SP A-

5 Kevin Newman 23 SS AA

6 Ke'Bryan Hayes 19 3b A-

7 Nick Kingham 25 SP AAA

8 Cole Tucker 20 SS A+

9 Taylor Hearn 22 SP A-

10 Will Craig 22 3B A-

11 Steven Brault 24 SP AAA/MLB

12 Elias Diaz 26 C AAA/MLB

13 Alen Hanson 24 AAA/MLB

14 Gage Hinsz, 20 SP A-

15 Yeudy Garcia 24 SP A+

16 Edgar Santana 25 RP AAA

17 Clay Holmes 23 SP AA

18 Braeden Ogle 19 SP R

19 Jin-De Jhang 23 C AA

20 Luis Escobar 20 SP A+

21 Trevor Williams 25 RP AAA/MLB

22 Jose Osuna 24 OF/1B AAA

23 Max Kranick 19 SP R

24 Dovydas Neverauskas 25 RP AAA

I think Barrett Barnes will get some time this year as a call up.

Honestly, I'm surprised Moroff is still on the board.

Me too. I have been voting for him for a while.

I've also been voting Moroff for a while. I think he has a higher ceiling than guys like Kramer and Barnes.

Moroff is the same age as Kramer, had a cup of coffee in the bigs last year; Kramer will probably start at Altoona. But there is such depth in the organization that there are only a few others who have been voted in that I would put below him. I think Pablo Reyes will be the next add. Any thoughts?

Moroff is a top 100 prospect according to Fangraph's KATOH rating. I'm a skeptic of KATOH but there is no denying it has unearthed some gems before everyone else in the past. Still, I'd be shocked if Moroff amounted to much more than a AAAA player.
