People just keep voting LaPorta cause of their 2007 Bowman stashes. This isn't even close.


Despite his ho-hum MLB debut, he has been beasting the minors.



Yeah this is exactly what I'm talking about. Just because he went up and came back down doesn't somehow take away from his ability or make him a lesser prospect. Although Santana is a great player, LaPorta is the only correct pick for this poll.

It would be the only correct pick if the poll was asking which prospect has the name that most sounds like it would translate to "the port" in another language.

LOL, I love how absolute you are. Santana is younger than Laporta by more than a year, plays a premium position, and is playing better in AA than Laporta is in AAA/Majors. I am fine with Laporta being your answer, its an opinion based question, but to say Laporta is the only answer is ludicrous. Santana ranked ahead of Laporta by one spot in the 09 BA Top 100 list....Has he really done enough to pass him? I don't think so.

I have stashes of both, and to me Santana gets the nod. The guy rakes for power and he gets on base as if drawn there by a magnet (thus providing an outstanding OPS). He does this from a position that you don't typically see numbers like his from. He has an absolute cannon for an arm to boot.

This isn't to say that LaPorta should be written off. His numbers also speak volumes. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of both of them in the Tribe lineup (if the Indians would give LaPorta a REAL chance the next time he gets called up it would be nice).

Laporta and Santana are no doubt the top 2 prospects in the organization but this organization is loaded with talent. If u just look at all the names that werent in the poll. You have beau mills, alex whitle (who is expected to sign), wes hodges, cerlos carrasco, michael brantley, jason donald, and lou marson. The prospect in the organization right now that i am wathing is jason knapp. he is 18 years old with filthy stuff. he has unlimited potential. rondon is also looking very good at AAA and should be called up soon. I am a die hard indians fan and it was hard for me to see all the talent go but their organization is now loaded. It will be fun to see these kids develop.
