Cabrera again, but I think we're undervaluing Richardson.

[Mitri]

Cabrera, then Roa, then Richardson for me.

I’m sorry but Hendrick and Hinds shouldn’t be anywhere near the top 20. Hendrick struck out 43% of the time and Hinds 38 %. I’m not sure they would be in my top 30

Totally agree.

I'm willing to look the other way on Elly's 30% because he does other things along with the power. Hinds/Hendrick won't enter my radar until they get that rate below 30%.

I just think we're at the point in the voting where you get to take your pick between underachievers with tools and/or pedigree, 18 year olds, or low ceiling close to the majors guys.

Couldn’t agree more. I hope they one day contribute at some level to a competitive team, but right now I would much rather go with guys who have a lot of potential that are a long ways off over guys who just don’t look like much of anything and are still a good ways off.

So you are telling us how to approach this survey? Who do you think you are?

At #19, the Bryce is definitely right. Bonnin for me. Health is definitely a concern. But, when he has been on the mound, he has been stellar.

I’m late to the party. This is the first rime I’ve voted. I like the list all the way down to Hendrick and Hinds. They strike out way to much to be too 20, in my opinion. Curious why the people that voted for them this high did. Not saying you are wrong, maybe I am. I’m just curious. I would have had Cerda and McGarry ahead of them. Cerda strikes about a little less. Has more power and is a very good defensive center fielder. He will also take a walk. McGarry can play 1B and corner outfield. I’ll list their stats below.

1B. Alex McGarry
264/316/543/859
27 HR, 15 SB, 32.7 SO%, 6.7 BB%

OF. Allan Cerda
208/360/444/803
16.6 BB%, 32.8 SO%,
24 HR, 7 SB

OF. Austin Hendrick.
216/306/433/739
21 HR, 16 SB. 42.6 SO%, 11.1 BB%

OF. Rece Hinds
233/304/428/732
7.8 BB%, 38.8 SO%,
12 HR, 15 SB
