Colby Rasmus Won the organizations top spot easily with 79% of the vote.
Of course John Sickels posted his Cardinals Top 20+ list early this morning. I really enjoy reading Sickels work, but his work shouldn't be considered absolute. His 10 rankings are
1. Colby Rasmus
2. Brett Wallace
3. Chris Perez
4. Daryl Jones
5. Jess Todd
6. Jon Jay
7. Jason Motte
8. Bryan Anderson
9. Mitchell Boggs
10. Jaime Garcia
One thing that stands out is all of the top ten are within striking distance of the majors,at or above AA. Track record is important to John, he has a preference for players close to the majors and generally ranks those higher than similar players farther away, although it barely seems applicable here. Criteria can be a mix of many things including ultimate ceiling, players value, or likely hood of reaching the majors.

Now we have a shocker
early in the voting, but Boggs is tied for second with 8% of the vote.

Boggs is tied with Perez?
How many voted Perez as number 1?

Wallace, not close, next please.
We could’ve just started at #3.

Definately Walrus
The dude may be the best bat in the system, including Rasmus. Obviously the long-term mobility at 3rd is a serious question mark that will hold him back…but if he can stick at third for a few years he’d be a huge asset* to this team.

Are these going to be listed in order
so that we don’t have to check back to see who is ranked where. While the first two were pretty much a given and easy to remember , it would be nice to see how we rank them so far at the beginning of each installment.

yeah i'll keep a running tally
of the list with each new post, probably even keep the margin for their victories as well.
I only am who I am because I was born that way. I have a gift and I'm trying to not be selfish about it, but to use it, OK? Jealousy will get you nowhere!
