Vote For Your Favorite Bats

Like last year, I’ve decided to solicit your input to compile the NationalsProspects.com Top 10 Position Players.

Here’s the dealio: Send your Top 10 list to enfieldmass-top10bats[at]yahoo[dot]com (link will open your preferred email client).

As I did last year, I’ll compile them, weight them in reverse order (#1 = 10 points, #2 = 9 points… #9 = 2 points, #10 = 1 point) and we’ll have fodder for discussion. When I hit a sizable number of submissions, I’ll update this post to let people know we’ve hit a critical mass.
