Hey hey kiddos. Let's get it going again here, we're feeling good on a Wednesday. Yesterday you chose OF Brett Phillips, the centerpiece of last July's trade with Houston, as your #2 prospect. The voting was not nearly as close as I thought it would be, but there you are. Today, we're voting for #3, and I've added a couple of new names to the list: Devin Williams and Cody Ponce. Your list so far:
1. SS Orlando Arcia | 11. |
2. OF Brett Phillips | 12. |
3. ??? | 13. |
4. | 14. |
5. | 15. Ps & Cs Report! |
6. | 16. |
7. | 17. |
8. | 18. |
9. | 19. |
10. | 20. |
Again, if you need a little guidance, here are the organizational lists that have been released up to this point. Our list will of course supersede all of them as the definitive Brewers prospects ranking once complete:
Minor League Ball
Baseball America
Baseball Prospectus: 1-10, 11-20
Voting will be live until the following day (or Monday, for polls posted on Friday) at noon for each poll in this countdown.
Note: The organizational top 30 from MLB Pipeline has not yet been updated for 2016. The organizational rankings below are implied by each players' ranking on the overall list, which was released Friday.
