The survey mechanism itself worked fine. You have a misspelled word in the instructions, in case you are looking for that kind of feedback.

 

Who is Gregg Bird? baseball-reference.com comes up empty. :)

Thrylos answers this. Pretty sure that he hasn't been going by Gregory since he was called up at least, but could be wrong.

Feel free to add your own insight here, for your vote. So far Soler is in the lead but with NO 1st place votes. Wonder if Playoff performance is effecting votes. Would things change if Conforto blasts a monster bomb today?

 

I personally think Soler, Conforto, and Bird offer the most upside with their elite exit velocities. But, I worry about Soler's roundball rate hurting is power, and hoping that he was just hurt earlier in the year because he is hitting now, like the way he did last year. Conforto might sit vs LHP's and be suppressed by the the park and his divisions pitching staffs. Russell might have a tough time moving up in the lineup with all the other bats, and his swing just looks slower to me and not very smooth. I know he probably will be elite hitter at SS, but just not sold on him. Baez has the contact issues, but could have the highest upside, considering position and power. Yelich just don't see ever hitting for power with that crazy roundball rate and park. Bird, I really really like due to his power and home ballpark, but might have a tough time getting in the lineup next year, and being at a position where you can scrap together guys in the late rounds that still give you power. Just my take.

 

At this moment, I agree with the results in keeping Soler, but probably have conforto right with him, and the Russell. Having Correa and Seager already also plays into this decision, but it shouldn't since I can start all 3  with Russell at 2B and Correa and Seager at SS and MI, or even one at Utility.
