The Twenty-Ninth spot in this year's poll went to one of the organization's most promising relievers, Tyler Robertson. Robertson had 41 of 173 votes (23%). Scott Diamond was second (28), Terry Doyle third (19), Andrew Albers fourth (17) and Matt Summers fifth with 15 votes.
Added to the next round will be a young man who has consistantly been one of the top hitters at every level, Anderson Hidalgo. This past season, Hidalgo led all hitters who had been at Ft. Myers the entire year with a .274 average in 347 at bats. The previous year, he was one of the top hitters in the midwest league with a .316 average. He hit .291 average at Elizabethton in 2009 and .364 average in the Gulf Coast League a year earlier. He doesn't have a lot of power, yet, hit a total of 47 doubles the last two years at Beloit and Ft. Myers.
This round will remain open through noon, Monday, January 16th. Please continue to let me know who you would like to see added.
