Let's do 25 for posterity's sake. Maybe allow multiple votes and just take the top three in order or something. Or not, we could stop here.

Mods. Should we make this a sticky?

[Guancous]

Can someone more ambitious than me please add links to previous years?

It makes me happy that Torres has improved fairly significantly, but he's still been passed by Contreras

what do ya'll expect for Zagunis? The Cubs seem to be high on him wiht teh promotion to Iowa, and he has the on-base skills and patient approach the front office seems to like. Late season callup? 4th outfielder? trade bait?

It all depends on who's still her come August 1st. As long as Soler, Baez, Almora, and Szczur are around, there's not going to be room for another RH OF. As a trade chip, despite his impressive on base skills, his lack of power could be limiting.

 

I could see him as a part of a trade package or called up in the event of one of the afore mentioned guys being traded or injured.
