Redszone's #16 prospect - runoff style.
Well we have our first runoff, folks. David Vidal and Seth Mejias-Brean each collected 8 votes. A 48-hour poll to settle the tie is being posted. Jonathan Reynoso missed out by just one vote.

Re: Redszone's #16 prospect - runoff style.
Doesn't matter much, but I would have liked to see Reynoso also in the runoff.
Think it would tell us more if all three closely bunched candidates were in the runoff. No big deal, obviously. |

Vidal. Closer to the majors. But SMB is next on my list.

Re: Redszone's #16 prospect - runoff style.
Vidal will win because he is so loved, but I went with Brean.
When a guy, even a lower level guy, has such a good K/BB rate AND hits for excellent power, he gets number 16 in the runoff IMO. |

Re: Redszone's #16 prospect - runoff style.
Vidal for me.
They were both drafted in the 8th round, Mejias-Brean is a year younger, but Vidal is THREE levels ahead of him on the minor league ladder. Vidal also has a much longer track record as a power hitter, with 2012 being the first time Mejias-Brean has shown any power outside of batting practice. Lastly, I am more impressed by Vidal's age 21 season (847 OPS in 127 Midwest League games) than I am with Mejias-Brean's age 21 season (925 OPS in 46 Pioneer League games). |

Re: Redszone's #16 prospect - runoff style.
Same reason for me. A big, athletic player with strong plate discipline and contact skills becomes something pretty special if pro coaching can uncork his power. I don't wanna get too hyped up on Billings stats, but last year was a good sign of adjustments right out of the gate.

Billings 2012 isn't Billings 2007. New field and it plays quite average, unlike old Billings, which was a launching pad. In fact, left field in Billings KILLS hitters. Right field really, really helps them. Center field plays slightly pitcher friendly.

Re: Redszone's #16 prospect - runoff style.
I strongly considered putting all three in. But is nearing February and we are only on #16. I will try to start a little earlier next off-season.

Absolute shame Ryan Wright has not been chosen yet. # 9 ranked 2B in prospect world.

Every once in a while, a guy like Marco Scutaro will defy the odds, but they usually aren't high on the prospect lists when it happens.

He's got my vote until he's selected.
