Reminder: Midseason top prospect creation

[admin]

For those that missed it, we are doing a mid season top prospect list, and it's stickied at the top of the forum:

http://www.bluejaysmessageboard.com/threads/565-Forum-2013-Toronto-Blue-Jays-Midseason-Top-Prospects-List

I'm going to close it after the weekend. I think that should give enough time for everyone that wants to do it, to finish it.

We have a couple dozen who have finished so far.

So odd looking at these lists compared to last years lists, and the options we had last year, to this year.

[DuckDuckGose]

Any chance you can post last years list before you lock the thread? It would be nice to have them both in one place.

[admin]

I don't have it, I just meant in general. I remember doing last years lists and 1-10 there was so much talent, even leaking up to 15.

Much quicker drop off now.

[DuckDuckGose]

This is what I could dig up from the old boards (Thanks again Grant for tackling the original lists)

What a great thread that was.

Does ranking Kalfus at all count as retarded? Because I do genuinely believe he's a top 50 prospect, albeit at the back end (won't say where).

[admin]

Sorry my browser f***ed up all my selections...

 

Okay, I'll believe that. My apologies for the f***ing idiot comment lol. Just frustrating to see that when we're trying to put together a legit list.

No, but putting him #1 in two separate submissions, and not ranking anyone else is.

[Caper]

"Adeiny Hechavarria (BTS #2"

 

lol

 

I don't think it was a bad pick at all. I still think he has potential. I would love to see him playing 2nd for the Jays.
