Luis Escobar wins #15. Doesn't seem anyone really cares though. Only 29 votes cast, nobody has commented for rounds and haven't had a suggestion since about the 6th round. Unless, of course, I am doing such a good job that everyone totally agrees with all my adds. Added Jonah Davis because he is a potential point of discussion at least.



The results so far:

#1- Mitch Keller, 23 year-old RHSP, 2018- Altoona/Indy, shoud make MLB debut this year. 68.2% of the vote

#2- Ke'Bryan Hayes, 21 year-old 2x minor league gold glove 3B, Altoona in 2018, Probably Indy in 2019. 92.3% of the vote

#3- Cole Tucker, 22- year-old SS, Altoona in 2018, Altoona or Indy probably in 2019- 59.1% of the vote

#4- O'Neil Cruz, 21, probably too big to be a SS, probably blocked by KBH at 3rd, but a bat too good to be ignored. 48.1% of the vote.

#5- Travis Swaggerty, 21, CF, #1 draft pick, high upside. 83.7% of the vote

#6- Kevin Kramer, 25, 2B, made debut last year, should be a major contributor, especially if Frazier has to play OF. Won run-off for #6.

#7- Will Craig, 24, 1B, Altoona 2018/Indy 2019. Former #1, can drive in runs, would like to see more power. 30% of the vote.

#8- Brian Reynolds, OF, 23, Altoona 2018/Indy 2019; part of the Cutch Deal, may have been higher if not hurt last year. 35.7% of the vote

#9- Cal Mitchell, 19, OF, 2018- WV, 2019-Bradenton? All-around good prospect and 2nd round draftee in 2017.

#10- Kevin Newman, 25, SS- unless someone is acquired from outside the organization, he's the starting SS for the Bucs in 2018. 40% of the vote.

#11- Jason Martin, 23, OF- AAA this year, a chance to be in the bigs. Won with 44% of the vote.

#12- J.T. Brubaker, 25, P, AAA- on the 40 man so odds are good he'll show up in the Burgh this year for at least a cuppa. 28.9% of the vote.

#13- Pablo Reyes, 25, Utility, AAA/MLB- will play a lot, will he make the team? 24.1% of the vote.

#14- Lolo Sanchez, 19, OF, A- down a little from last year but still only 19 with a projectable bat and speed. 22% of the vote.

#15- Luis Escobar, 22, SP, AA- 110 K/128 IP. 27.6% of the vote.

I'll bite. I voted for Burdi this round. The guys at FanGraphs still insist there's closer upside there, so I don't think you can go wrong this far down the line.
