Patterson takes the ballot spot vacated by Romero on his win in the last round.

Coats got this round's first vote, before I could even vote myself after publishing the poll, so the man's supporters are out there!

Wow, the first 10 votes were split among eight different players, including "Other," and nobody got more than two.

I think we've reached critical mass on "split opinion" time

If there's another poll I'd like to see Balbino Fuenmayor on the list.  He didn't produce in the GCL last year, but he was only 17 years old.  He signed for $1.5 million as an international free agent and has a lot of upside.  I'd take Fuenmayer over Patterson or Coats, and you could argue he's ahead of Jackson too.  In this poll I selected Chavez for his bat, though.

I voted Justin Jackson, based on his video, but Balbino Fuenmayor intrigues me, too.

I voted Tolisano, however if Thigpen remains leading please change my vote to the nearest competitor as he is about as exciting as a 1992 Ford Tempo

Wow, we all knew the voting would even out eventually, but this is ridiculous! Nearly 150 votes cast, and the top four vote-getters have 19.3%, 18.6%, 17.2% and 16.6% respectively -- that's right, the top four vote-getters are separated by a total of four votes!

I didn't vote for him, but actually espected Yo Chavez to fill this #7 slot. He's running a distant (though respectable at 11%) fifth, which means he might not even project to make the Top 10 overall!

This poll will remain up until 200-225 votes have been cast, as has been the case with all the others in this series.

We're getting down to players that a lot of us have never seen play or can only go on "prospect reports" of the experts. Some voters are mentioning "videos "... any directions to or links? ... any report summaries that are enlightening?  ...comparative?... I found Gerry's interview with "Minor League Baseball Analyst" and his rating system very helpful... are we voting on closest to helping the Jays or bigger possible impact once the player arrives?...

I mean unless someone feels super strongly about someone...  I think we should really revisit this issue prior to the entry Draft to see how far along these guys are in their respective careers.  Really, you can toss a coin for most of these in terms of ranking.

I just saw Brian Jeroloman's stats for last year. I must say that his OBP is obscene. Even with the low SLG the .421 OBP leaves me in awe. The Box's own scouting report on him has him being outstanding behind the plate. So can someone tell me why my new favourite prospect doesn't seem to get much attention?

Because his bat stinks

HH, Jeroloman is currently taking advantage of the poor control so many pitchers at the lower levels have. As he gets to higher levels, those walk rates won't be sustained since pitchers will realise they have nothing to fear if they throw him nothing but strikes. He won't be able to be more than a backup unless he seriously improves his hitting or adds power to his swing. It is worth noting that he has a strong defensive reputation, so it's not unlikely that he will become at least a useful backup to keep at AAA. I also find him interesting to follow since his profile is such an unusual one - let's just hope he can make some critical improvements to his game.

Every time someone brings up Brian Jeroloman I have to interject and make a case for my sleeper prospect Jon Diaz. He projects to be the exact same player offensively as Jeroloman and plays an equally difficult defensive position, that being shortstop and is reported to be a potential gold glover at that. As previously noted it’s a very interesting combination; gold glove defender with a lite bat, high OBP, it’s quite rare and I do hope that both of these players develop into useful hitters, that is to say they become hitters that can sustain a 250/375/375 line in the majors. I must say I've been rooting for both of these guys since draft day in '06 and would love to see both succeed at the major league level.
