Here are some previous ranks. I don't remember who did the old ones, so it's harder to find.

Somehow I remembered that Flyline24 used to do the prospect polls, but here they are back to January 2006.

We have been incredibly accurate in these polls in terms of not placing top prospects out of the top-10. There usually 3-5 prospects who make it among those ranked 11-30, but they are usually not great, with the exception of Hagelin and T-Bone.

Beacon just saw these posts while looking at the old threads:

How come I'm not allowed to vote in this board's polls?

You probably don't have enough posts. I think you need like 15 or 20..or maybe a little more.

Long time ago.

Yeah, it seems to me that prospects' first years after getting drafted/signed are huge. Callahan, Girardi, and others really jumped up the lists from their first poll to the next poll.

Carl Hagelin did too. It's sad seeing Cherry in those old polls.

Showing progress is key to a prospect's development. If you stall for a few years and then start to dominate lower levels because you are older than others and not because you are more talented, forget it, you won't be all that great.

I actually remember writing that.

Shestyorkin, add Walcott. Get on the Walcott train dammit!

I really want to get on the Walcott bandwagon. All the reports of his skills are really intriguing, and he's followed an interesting development path. He's another guy that has an opportunity to shoot up our list rather quickly.

Shestyorkin. Add McCarthy.
