I know he's older, but does Antonelli make the poll at some point?

Voting for Turnbull.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

I think the rule we are operating under here is no guys who have been in the majors already.  

[Kevrock]

Ohhh, makes sense.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

It might be fun to rank Moore and Komatsu consecutively because they are probably the two most different (marginal) prospects in terms of skills.

I'll go with Michael Taylor again.

Jason Martinson should be on this list

[sportsfan882]

Haven't been impressed with Komatsu since he has come over in the trade.

.242/.296/.303 in 99 ABs

Hopefully he turns it up in the playoffs

Absolutely right. His track record, evaluations, and even this year's season long stats are very good in terms of plate discipline and OBP, so you do have to hope / believe /expect this is a slump.  His combined AA line this year is .282 / .372 / .389 and his career line is .305 / .390  / .438.  You do have to wonder if pitchers are saying, he can't hurt me deep, might as well beat him up in the strike zone.

Voted Taylor again...Most upside of the players remaining on this list he's batting .292 BA with a .868 OPS in the second half this year and wont turn 21 until next season. It'll be interesting to see where him and Goodwin start next year. Will they put them both in Potomac and have them rotate positions in the OF or will Goodwin start in HAG and Taylor go to Potomac. Also is Eury Perez even ready for AA yet? Assignments next year will be very interesting.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Taylor is young enough that he could repeat and consolidate in the first month or two before moving to Potomac.  he'll only be 21 at the start of the year.  This second half is his first big success in the minors, right?

Yeah but the organization must think highly of him since he didn't get sent to Auburn this year and Byron Kerr has written about him a couple of times.
