2012 AA Prospects List #3

by Ogre39666 on Feb 9, 2012 1:19 AM EST

Matt Harvey is voted prospect #1 with 61% of the vote. However, because Zack Wheeler received 34% of the vote (over 30 higher then his nearest competition) I'm going to go ahead and name him prospect #2 because I can and it's pretty obvious he's a top-2 prospect in the system.

The poll will be open until 12AM on Saturday. And again, when voting please do so without looking at the results first. I know it's tempting but I would like an honest result.

Additionally, please lobby who should be added to the next poll in the comments.

I'd throw in Mejia next time.

I'm going with strict rookie eligibility for this list.

To qualify for rookie status, a player must not have exceeded 130 at-bats or 50 innings pitched in the Major Leagues, or accumulated more than 45 days on the active roster of a Major League club or clubs during the 25-player limit period, excluding time on the disabled list or in military service.

That means Mejia, Gee, and Tejada are not eligible.

Can we fire Omar again?

by MetsFanXXIII on Feb 9, 2012 11:09 AM EST up reply actions

In that case I'd go with Havens.

by MetsFanXXIII on Feb 9, 2012 11:18 AM EST up reply actions

Who cares if he lost his rookie status due to a couple months of idiotic mop-up-man duty?

Mejia clearly meets every common-sense standard of a prospect: he’s just 22, has barely pitched above A-ball, and next time he pitches, it’ll be in the minors.

Yes and his arb clock started to tick

It stopped ticking though.

He’s still got less than one year of service time.

by MetsFanXXIII on Feb 9, 2012 6:48 PM EST up reply actions

Don't care about the rookie thing much.

I’d still consider him more of an actual “prospect” then say, the rookie eligible Yu Darvish.

Can't vote on my phone

But it’s gotta be Familia, Nimmo number four.

37 - 14 - 41 - 31 - 17 - 42 - SHEA

I would encourage everyone to rec this

so it remains on the side bar longer. That way, we can have more participation.

I would have vote Familia whoever was on this poll

but I’d like some more options for the next one please.

Yep

Considering how much consensus there is about the Mets top prospects, there wasn’t much need this time around – but from here on (specieally nos.10-20) opinions tend to differ a lot more.

I think SBN implemented a new format.

I for one hate it.

Are they trying to move views away from FanPosts?

What if I come to see only FanPosts?

Lobby for next poll:

Havens, Vaughn, and Michael Fulmer

Havens should be added next if you're sticking to 5.

I’d go Fulmer than Valderspin after that.

I don’t think the small selection is going to matter for a couple more rounds as I think Familia, Nimmo and Flores round out our top prospects easily.
