Hopefully my alphabetizing is better on this one.



#22 was a bit of a surprise, as Edgar Santana got a lot of late votes to take the spot. Not a surprise in the rankings, he was ranked on other polls, 18-21-21-26 and #16 last year. But he was in about 4th place and rallied to win by 6 votes.



Added Dovydas (Will he get Edgar's votes?) and Hunter Owen by request. Who's next? We have 11 players from last year's poll yet, a couple of players who are in other poll's top 20, a couple of non-roster or Rule 5 players who could wind up on the team this year.



The results thus far.

1. Mitch Keller, 21, SP, AA (88% of the vote)

2. Austin Meadows, 22, OF, AAA (also 88% of the vote)

3. Shane Baz, 18, SP, Rookie league (34.1%)

4. Cole Tucker, 21, SS, AA (53.7%)

5. Colin Moran, 24, 3B, AAA/MLB (as placed by previous poll)

6. Ke'Bryan Hayes, 20, 3B, A+ (52.8% in #5 poll)

7. Kevin Newman, 24, SS, AAA (34.1% in #6 poll)

8. Taylor Hearn, 23, SP, A+ (40% in #7 poll)

9. Bryan Reynolds, 22, OF, A+ (40.9%)

10. Jordan Luplow, 24, OF, AAA/MLB (51.1%)

11. Max Moroff, 24, IF, MLB (27.3%)

12. Nick Kingham, 26, SP, AAA (28.1%)

13. Kevin Kramer, 24, 2B, AA, (52.1%)

14. Luis Escobar, 21, SP, A (33.3%)

15. Kevin "Lolo" Sanchez, 18, OF, R (46.2%)

16. Will Craig, 23, 1B, AA (20%)

17. Kyle Crick, 25, RP, MLB/AAA (26.7%)

18. Jason Martin, 22, OF, A- (20.5% of the vote, 57.7% of the run-off)

19. Oneil Cruz, 19, 3B, A- (41.7% of the vote)

20. Clay Holmes, 24, SP, AAA (35.6% of the vote)

21. Mason Martin, 18, 1B, R (28.3%)

22. Edgar Santana, 26, RP, AAA/MLB (31.6%)

I think Rodolfo Castro would be a good next addition.

I'm just glad I can finally stop voting for Edgar Santana

Edison Lantigua might be another add as well, the only real position prospect from the Bristol squad last year.

If Castro can stick at short I agree he's a prospect; Lantigua strikes out a lot but he's only 20 and could grow into a potential power-hitting corner OF. Both worthy of consideration and a couple of the lesser-known prospects to look out for. Thanks Orlando.
