26 was a bit of a surprise to me because of how easily Jack Herman won, getting as many votes as the 2nd and 3rd place finishers combined. With the MLB pipeline rankings out, adding the top-rated player on the list not in our poll, OF Matt Gorski.

I'm beginning to wonder if Kevin Kramer will make our Top 30 this year.

He's not racking up the votes, for sure. I'll probably go to 40775D56665147474B240 wrote: I'm beginning to wonder if Kevin Kramer will make our Top 30 this year.

Now I have a better sense of Mears as a prospect --

I was already a Mears fan since he was an underdog (having gone undrafted), but this really puts him on my favorites list.

Kevin Kramer has vastly bigger chance to (ever) make it to The Bigs than anyone left.  Not the exciting choice just the correct one at this point in the list imo.
