Guess Next Year's Top Prospects

Last year I came up with an idea for a Fanpost: predicting where the following season's Top 10 prospects would look. Well, we don't quite have our top ten list yet, but Chuckie Jones seems destined to win #8, and Ehire Adrianza and Jorge Bucardo are well ahead of the pack for the last two spots in the top ten, so I'm assuming they'll win. So, I figured it would be a good time to revisit last year's predictions and make our own for next year year.

First of all, nobody got more than 5 out of 10 - which isn't quite as bad as it sounds, since two of this year's draft picks will make the MCC Top 10. Everyone got Zack Wheeler, and almost everyone got Thomas Neal (a couple of people thought he would be in the Majors and ineligible by now). Beyond that, it was rough going.

The best, with 5/10 each, were Smotheredinhugs and henwo.

The LOL YOU award, with just 2/10, was won by tedfordfan and myself (my list: 1) Wheeler 2) Neal 3) Joseph 4) Rodriguez 5) Kieschnick 6) Sanchez 7) Matt Graham 8) First Round Pick 9) Nick Noonan 10) Jason Stoffel).

The Predicted We Would Take Gary Brown award goes to wilriv21, although he thought we'd take him in the second round, and predicted our first pick would be Stefan Sabol, who ended up going to the Braves in the 17th round.

The LOL POSEY award goes to Cody_ransom, who had him on his list at #2. Honorable mentions go to Grant and kennv who had him at #1. kennv also had Madison Bumgarner at #2.

NOBODY predicted Brandon Belt anywhere in the Top 10, let alone #1. NOBODY picked Charlie Culberson.

The Bucardo Brothers Award goes to Roger and Smotheredinhugs, the only two to have Jorge Bucardo in their top ten, at #9 and #10 respectively.

So, now it's time to make your predictions for next year's list. If you want to predict who we'll draft, feel free to include a name; otherwise, you can include a placeholder for (draft pick).
