CONTEST: Win a Free 2010 BA Prospect Handbook!

Hey, all. It's been a while since I've done a contest.

Beginning Monday, BA will start unveiling their Organizational Top 10 Prospect Lists for 2010. Before that happens, I wanted to get your input.

CORRECTLY PREDICT WHO BASEBALL AMERICA WILL CROWN EACH TEAM'S #1 PROSPECT.

Remember, this isn't who you think will be # 1 per organization; it's who you think THEY will annoint. Some teams are easy to predict, some aren't.

The person who gets the most correct out of 30 wins a free 2010 Baseball America Prospect Handbook (out of my own pocket, as I will be ordering two). I believe this releases in late January.

In the event of a tie, whoever posted their guesses in this thread first will win.

You may guess and edit until Sunday the 1st of November at Noon CST, at which time this thread will be locked to prevent further editing.

Here's the list of teams. Good luck!!!!

This reminds me -- typos are fine, as long as it's clear which prospect you mean.
