By my count, we had 30 entries in the poll, which was more than double what we had in the mid-season poll. We have so many well-informed readers that there's little doubt in my mind that this list is at least as good as any of the others you'll see published over the next few months.
Once again, Bauxites selected Alex Rios over Guillermo Quiroz as the top prospect in the organisation. The point system remained the same: 13 points for a 1st place vote, 10 for 2nd, 8 for 3rd, decreasing by 1 thereafter to 1 point for a 10th place vote.
Here are the top 10, with points per vote listed:
Rios 11.4, Quiroz 10.2, McGowan 8.7, Gross 7.2, Bush 5.8, Arnold 3.3, Hill and Adams 3.1, Griffin 1.6, Vermilyea 1.2. Others receiving votes: Banks, League, Peterson, Perkins, Rosario, Sequea, Chiaravallotti and Godwin.
In the mid-season poll points per vote were as follows:
Rios 10.8, Quiroz 10.1, Gross 7.3, Adams and McGowan 6.3, Bush and Arnold 5.8, Griffin 2.7, League 2.0, Hill 0.7. Others receiving votes: Perkins, Cash, Nin, Rich, Vermilyea, Negron and Gassner.
McGowan and Hill were the big gainers, while Arnold and Adams lost a lot of support. Rios was named #1 on 18 of the 30 ballots, Quiroz on 8, with McGowan and Gross on 2 each. The top 5 were named on every ballot, with the next four named on the majority of ballots.
