Guess I still have a day +/- to decide.

 

Actually, like the last poll, this board software should close it at exactly 48 hours from creation. This would be 7:04 PM PST tomorrow.

I went with Almora, which was somewhat surprising to me. But based off the scouting reports we're looking at a low floor guy who could be a 5+ win player if things go well. Soler could be a 5+ win guy too of course, but his path there is pretty much solely dependent on his bat... which leaves him a riskier choice.

 

I also debated Edwards here (and will have a hell of an internal debate at #4), but with pitcher attrition rates being what they are I tend to discount them rather heavily until they reach AA.

That's why I picked Edwards. He's going against 2 guys (Almora and Soler) who each had about a 1/2 season of attrition last year. I'm not going to assume Edwards is going to get hurt until he actually gets hurt. And I'm not going to count the chance he gets hurt against him when comparing him to 2 players who have been hurt.

I'd probably vote Edwards next, but based on this poll it looks like Soler will be ranked 4th since his little bar is the next largest after Almora. I only voted Almora because all the experts say how polished and high his floor is. I trust the experts on this and think that's very important. Edwards has an extremely high ceiling, and an Ace in my personal opinion, but I don't think he's anywhere near as "safe" a prospect as Almora.

That means little since nobody has any idea what Almora voters at 3 would pick for 4.

How do all of those guys who got votes for #1 not get any for #3?

 

That was a pick 3 vote and this is a pick 1 vote.

I still think whoever is the next biggest bar is a good indicator. It doesn't guarantee I just think it's likely.

Yes, that's definitely one of the words that was used.
