Nos. 1 through 5 were named on each ballot, but as many of you noted in the comments, it’s throwing darts after that.
As for the slash-through at #4, well, as I was writing this, the notification that LHP Jake Bennett was traded for RHP Luis Perales came across my phone, so absent a revote, Perales takes Bennett’s spot. Both pitchers have had Tommy John surgery, though Perales had his in June 2024 and Bennett in September 2023.
Back to the topic at hand… Alex Clemmey overtaking Jarlin Susana says more about Susana’s injury status than his ceiling. Clemmey could be pitching in D.C. in August. It’ll be a win if Susana is in uniform at West Palm Beach at the same time.
Let me get this posted before someone else gets traded…
