Prospect voting time - new and improved with 114% more bells and whistles!

[Brock Beauchamp]

Okay, so I've been dying to release this for a long time now, probably about a year. It has taken several iterations and delays to get it rolling and Brewer Fanatic gets to try it first because one of you came up with the idea (thanks, @homer)!

Okay, so this process is pretty simple but requires a bit of reading to understand all the steps.

1. You must have an account and be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, click here. It literally requires 60 seconds to create an account.

2. Review our current top 20 prospect list, catch up on stats, rankings, etc.

3. Have your prospect list in your dirty little paws? Then flip on over to the new prospect voting page (after reading the rest of this, please).

4. Voting is super simple, you drag and drop players in the order you wish them to be. After you move a prospect, the list automatically renumbers so you don't lose track of the order. This works on mobile devices but it's a *vastly* better experience on desktop. Sorry, that's just how this kind of thing works. There's no great way to make something like this be as awesome on a phone screen.

5. Each prospect has a comment section where you can add any commentary you have on that player. At the bottom of the list, there is a general comment section to explain over-arching things you wish to mention.

6. Don't see a prospect you want to put on the list? Just pop back here and give me a mention (in a comment, start typing @Brock Beauchamp and then select my name when it appears). Mention the prospect you want added and I will do that asap.

7. Once you're done with all of it, click Save. You've now voted!

8. When the voting closes, a new thread will automatically generate in this forum with all of your rankings and comments for everyone to read and talk about.

9. You can only vote once. If you have voted in error, pop back here and again tag me, asking to have your vote deleted. I will remove it and you can vote again.

UPDATE: voting will now close at 11:59pm Tuesday July 18th!

If you have questions or comments, put 'em here!

Can we delay this process until the draft signing period ends? Draft signing deadline is July 25th. Can we push the voting to July 26th to 31st?

I thought about this and just vote as if the draftees are signed. If a draftee fails to sign, I will bump them off the list and add the 21st highest-ranked prospect to the top 20 list.

[Brock Beauchamp]

The reason I'm not particularly concerned about this is because the trade deadline is going to shuffle pieces around again just a week later. The list is going to be more fluid than it has been in the past.

@Brock Beauchamp This won't matter if the votes are tabulated by hand, but if it is done automatically, it appears as if Zamora is on there twice

Thanks. It is automatic so it definitely matters.

Yes, thank you. I think Rodriguez *MIGHT be out next guy to really break out...but he's off to an excellent start in any event.

[Brock Beauchamp]

So far, every vote has Chourio at the top... I thought one of you might go rogue and vote Quero.

That's because I haven't submitted mine yet (still working on writeups). Not trying to be that guy ... just really high on Quero. I was the one (or one of the ones, can't remember) who had him No. 2 in the preseason poll.

I am "this" close to doing so...

[Outlander]

Was closer in putting Misiorowski #1 than Quero but ultimately went with Chourio/Misiorowski/Quero

[Brock Beauchamp]

I think mobile voting should be fixed if someone wants to give it a shot.

@Brock Beauchamp Yophery Rodriguez wasn’t there when I originally voted can I please have a redo? Thanks lol

[Brock Beauchamp]

Okay, just made a significant upgrade to the page.

Every name is now in blue. Clicking that name will take you to one of three places, opened in a new tab so your voting session is not disrupted:

1. The Brewer Fanatic top prospects page for that player, which includes scouting reports, stats, and related articles

2. The Brewer Fanatic draft page for players who do not yet have statistics

3. Failing the two listed above, the MiLB.com page for that player

This should make quick reference of players much easier when you have questions you need to check on the fly.

Actually... I can't. There was a bug that wiped out some scores from the count. We fixed that and now we can't delete votes.

Give me a few hours, I'll get this fixed and then let you know when your vote has been removed.
