Prospect voting is now open!

[Brock Beauchamp]

Some of the players on the list are probably gone. If someone needs to be removed, just tag me with the name and I'll get rid of it.

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. (you can do so from the voting page link below)

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).

https://brewerfanatic.com/prospect-voting/

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 or @Seth Stohs and then select the correct 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.

Voting will close at end of day Wednesday, May 15!

A couple eligibility questions. May as well get these out there right away:  Is Chourio, Ortiz, Hall not eligible, since they are not listed anymore?  What about Bryan Hudson? A bit old but technically a rookie still.  Tobias Myers is still eligible?

Yeah, believe that Chourio, Ortiz, Hall (and Dunn) have all graduated.

Hudson is short on IP cutoff for rookie status, but he is over the 45 day cutoff now too so I wouldn't consider him "prospect" eligible any longer.

Myers should still be eligible though.

Would you be able to add Tayden Hall, Manny Rodriguez, and Yujanyer Herrera.

Chourio and Dunn don't graduate until this weekend, but they can probably be removed because it doesn't seem like either player will be optioned before they graduate.

Yes to all of this.

Yeah, they'll graduate by the time voting closes so we took them off the list.

Done!

[ErnieRilesBrianGiles]

Can you add Craig Yoho to the list?

Also, is it possible to change my vote? I accidentally hit save before I was done. If not, no big deal.

[CheeseheadInQC]

@Brock Beauchamp Could you add Filippo Di Turi? I haven't completely solidified my list yet, but he is better than 50/50 to make it at this point.

This one is tough. I feel like some of the guys I had in the 10-20 range last time haven't solidified their spots and a bunch of players have risen up into that area. I've only got 11 players who I think definitely belong in the top 20, two players who probably belong in the top 20 and 23 players who deserve significant top 20 consideration. 23 players for 7 spots.

I added Yoho and deleted your vote so you can vote again.

[sveumrules]

Just put in my ballot, and man, making the calls for the last few spots was TOUGH.

If we went out to 25 my next five would have been Yujanyer Herrera, Daniel Corniel, Daniel Guilarte, Filippo Di Turi and Eric Bitonti.

 

[Matt]

I'm not sure he's gonna be on my list, but can you add TJ Shook, please? 

[wiguy94]

Hey @Brock Beauchamp can you delete my vote. I want to make some changes to it.

It's weird how a week can change/alter my thinking. There would already be 3 or 4 guys I would move down my list some and probably a couple I would move into the top 20. I don't need anything re-set just making observations, there probably 26-28 guys that were worthy of the top 20 and a few more that have the talent but I leave out (new int. signings).

Yah, I submitted my list last night and the bottom three spots were guys left out of my first iteration a couple of days ago. The only tier changes came from one guy who was in either way and two guys who were out, but with the big fifth tier (15-36), things were very fluid.

[Playing Catch]

The pitching staffs in Wisconsin and Carolina are loaded. Really pushes out a bunch of decent hitting prospects. Just my opinion, of course.

With the overall lack of offense at those levels, though, I wonder if I am being too harsh on the bats and artificially bumping up the arms.

[BrewersRice]

1st clear tier is 1-4 for me.

With Misso, Gasser, Black, Quero

2nd clear tier is 5-7:

Boeve, Wilken, Wichroski

3rd tear it gets harder (8-12), not as much upside maybe, but they should all make the pros.

4th tier I feel like could go from 13-30 fairly easy. and many of those players would be on other teams top 20. Especially when it comes to pitchers. Some are just too young to know what we have got.  I could see some in this batch rising into top ten in our system. Yoho and JC Hunt have been phenomenal, but how do you rank relievers in the lower levels, much less at the upper levels.  And we have so many talented young starters that could rise up. 30 games in is a little challenging to know with these young starters.  None of them have really been a disappointment. I would also add Carlos Rodriguez the OF onto this list probably before Ernesto. They are both older prospects, and likely trade material, but they are starting to really play well at a hard level. By the time we have voting again, I could envision Gasser and Dunn off the list, and two more pitchers added. This is going to be a pitching heavy top 20 list, and rightfully so. The Brewers need some new #1 and #2 caliber pitchers if they are going to chase a World Series.

[jay87shot]

I must be sleeping on Wichrowski way to much. I don't remember where I had him it would have been 18-22. I know he added a few mph up to 96-98 and he has a nice slider. He is now in AA and pitched pretty well. 

Thinking about it I probably should have him above O'Rae, Baez, Guilarte, Adams because his ceiling is higher. However I am not quite ready to put him over EBJ and CarRod. Even though the beginning of the year has gone bad I am not ready to abandon them yet.
