Stealing an Idea

[Miamarlin21]

So guys, on another forum that I am on (Reds) they, via voting, compose their own top prospect list. I thought that in order for us to get through the monotony of the off-season we could try this. They are currently at their 17th prospect, but I thought we could not go as in depth and go to maybe top 10 or 15. I'd do all the work, all you'd have to do is vote and discuss. This prospect list would be Marlins players only.


Thoughts? Comments? Concerns? Love for me?

Just leave it to Ramp.

He knows.

(might be a fun idea, though, and give a run through of the "candidates")

[Miamarlin21]

You don't think I'm capable?

Its not that I don't...but Ramp already does a top 50 and has been doing it for years now.

[Miamarlin21]

Oh he does? My bad. I figured we must have already have something on here established because we have everything else. I was going to be surprised if we didn't.

[Ramp]

you're more than welcome to do this anyway

[Miamarlin21]

No Ramp, it's totally fine. I don't want to step on your toes at all.

It should be interesting considering all of our prospects have basically graduated. Hopefully we can add Alex Meyer or Mikie Mahtook to it next year. Yes, I'm on the draft these bandwagons.

This is totally different than what Ramp does. He does a personal ranking, this would be a community ranking. I think it's a great idea. We do it at the Blue Jackets one I post on, it's fun.

Well if you guys want to do it then I can start it on Monday. We just gotta agree on the "rules" and shit.

50 IPs for Pitchers and 150 ABs for Hitters. I believe that's the rules for being considered a rookie. Maybe it's 135?

I meant more as how many days the voting lasts, how many we do, and if we have a close call, do we do runoffs.

I think everyone names their top 20 prospects, with 20 points going to the #1 rank and so on. tally them up and see what happens. a tie is unlikely i think but if there is one they can just be tied, or we can break it by progression (highest level player goes first) or something

[Bucklin12]

Agreed. Sounds fun. I think mk7's idea to get started is worthwhile.

I like this idea.
