Q: Would the community prefer if I do the individual profiles from top to bottom or in reverse order? Let me know in comments below.

  1. It doesn't really matter, but most followers probably aren't that interested in the "Honorable Mention" and "Dominican Dandies".

    1. Well, I am interested in them. It you aren't, you can skip those posts.

    2. Nice response Doc!

    3. Top down, honorable mention and Dominican dandies are interesting too.

    4. I think maybe Pete might have been suggesting not leading off with the Honorables and Dandies.

    5. Well, if you follow his logic, then "most followers" are going to either be disinterested now or later so he's really saying don't bother with the HM's and DD's at all.

      I've been writing about the same stuff and including the HM's and DD's for over 9 years now and folks still come here to read and comment, so someone must be interested!

    6. No, starting at one is cleaner, but more importantly, THANK YOU FOR THE HONORABLE MENTION AND DOMINICAN DANDIES! I'm in a super deep fantasy league where the top 50 have already been picked through.

  2. I prefer reverse order...helps build the suspense waiting for number one

  3. Top -- see the brightest stars first, I'm a bit anxious for something!
    It may well be a watershed year for the top 2: Bart needs to keep moving and it would be comforting to see young Ramos adjust and BE the future albeit still 19 until September in, what, A+? That will be tough!

    1. I'd be pretty surprised if Ramos didn't repeat Augusta.

      Delete
    2. I think Ramos actually did quite well in Augusta given his age and the extreme pitcher friendly environment. The more I think about it the more I think Ramos should repeat Augusta. There is nothing wrong with that. It will be his age 19 season.

  4. Your the doctor, Doc. Which ever you prefer. I just enjoy the posts.

  5. Top down, please. But, really, any which way you want to come at it is awesome. Thanks, Doc.

  6. OK, I think it's pretty clear the Top Down's have it. That's how I've always done it so I'll just keep on doing it.

    Thanks for the input.

  7. Looks like we'll have a Hot Stove Update tomorrow about Kikuchi and he's not coming here.

    1. Is it the Ichiro legacy or the 350 "extra" miles to SFO?
      Is 30 minutes a bridge too far?
      Did we not treat Nori Aoki well enough?

  8. Baseball America has ranked Luis Toribio as the 9th best prospect in the Giants' organization. Your opinion?
