2013 DRaysBay writers' top 30 prospect list

To combine the four lists, I used the NCAA poll point system. A vote for first place is 30 points, second is 29, all the way down to 30th being 1 point. To break the ties, I went with the player who had the smaller standard deviation between the two.

Also receiving votes: Granden Goetzman (4), Ryan Carpenter (3), Nick Sawyer (3), Dane De La Rosa (2), Jeff Malm (2), Frank De Los Santos (1), James Harris (1)

As expected, Wil Myers was the unanimous #1. Although there were minor disagreements early on the list, for the most part, everyone was in agreement about who would be in the top 10, just not the order everyone should be in. Starting with Tyler Goeddel, there are pretty minor squabbles over player placement that go down the list with the ranges of player placement widening. Despite those disagreements, the writers were nearly in complete agreement on the players that belong in the top 30. Even though there's a lot of depth and interesting talent in the lower minors, 27 of the 30 players appeared on every list.

The players disagreed upon most? Besides Robinson Chirinos standing out, Ryan Brett and Mike Montgomery stand out above the other players. In Brett's case, Kevin and I were seemingly more willing to give him the benefit of the doubt after his mediocre 2012 season. The same goes for Montgomery. Daniel ranks him somewhat highly, while Kevin doesn't rank him at all. As the community prospect list comes close to wrapping up and the remaining industry lists trickle in, we'll see how they compare to the writers' list.
