Take the specifics with a grain of salt because my hand counting produced slightly different results in one case so I must have messed up somewhere:

• Quero vs. Frelick was the closest race in the top five, very tight the whole way
• Wilken vs. Gasser and Uribe vs. Rodriguez were also very close
• The rest of them had a 10-point spread at least in my count (once again, no guarantees of accuracy)
• O'Rae led most of the way for the 20th spot but the later ballots weren't as kind and he ended up second in the also receiving votes category behind Moore
• 34 players tallied votes, which is more than I expected.
• Edwin Jimenez, Demetrio Nadal, Jadher Areinamo, Melvin Hernandez and Jesus Rivero (that one was me) each got one vote, with the latter three each getting a single point.
• Hendry Mendez got four votes, all 20th.
• Juan Baez, Freddy Zamora, Cam Devanney, Matthew Wood, Patricio Aquino, and Hedbert Perez also received votes.
• Best prospects in my opinion not to receive a vote: Di Turi and Low.

The nice thing is that my 1-7 are close to major league ready now.

I think this is really an underrated aspect to the organization right now. Of the top farm systems, the Brewers have several top prospects in AA/AAA, and that's without including Contreras, Ashby, Turang, Wiemer, Mitchell, Monasterio, Peguero, Perkins, and the other AAAA pitchers like Junk and McKendry.

The doubley-nice thing is that when those top guys graduate, there are a number of players in the lower ranks ready to take their spots. The franchise is really, really setting itself up to not need to pay free agents to fill roster spots in the coming years, which is super important with the Yelich contract, and hopefully one or two other "premium" salary spots (e.g. Woodruff extension, LoCain-type signing).

It would be a fun thread idea to predict the Brewers top-15 prospect list in say, June 2025.
