It's that time of year again - time to voice your opinion on ranking the top prospects in the Red Sox system. You know the drill - rank your top 40. Please keep the discussion to a minimum in this particular thread - this thread is specifically for taking and tallying rankings. Discussion of the rankings can go in the Meta Sub-Forum. Criteria for rankings should be your opinion of each prospect's "expected value" at the big league level. If you want some generic guidance on the Site's rankings philosophies, check out soxprospects.com/faqs.htm#ranked . We're not going to set any additional guidelines as to how you should rank prospects, except that we do ask that you follow one rule - please only vote for eligible prospects and do not exclude players from eligibility based on your own criteria. This is because we want to keep the pool of players the same across the board, so some members aren't over-excluding or over-including certain players. In order to keep it consistent, if you vote for an ineligible player, your vote will not be tallied. We'll typically try to work with you to fix up any such entries before the voting deadline.
If you choose to take part, please rank the top 40. Feel free to go beyond 40, just note that players listed beyond 40 will not be tallied. Also, if you fail to get to 40, that throws off the math, so unfortunately your entry would not be tallied. Voting will go through Tuesday, September 18 at noon ET. You can edit your rankings until then.
Eligibility: Prospect eligibility for this vote is based loosely on MLB "rookie" status, meaning all players in the system will be eligible unless they have exhausted their rookie status as of today, September 11, 2012. However, Ryan Lavarnway will not be eligible because he is expected to surpass the threshold in the coming days.
