Well, we had a good opening run. After successfully making it through eight names in the 2026 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List, our quest to rank the top 44 prospects in the San Francisco Giants organization finally hit a snag. And it was the same snag that we’ve hit so many times in the past: voter fraud!
Yes, the polls seem askew. After moving along in a normal direction, the polls took a jump, as the ballots starting getting stuffed for one Mr. Trevor McDonald, who soared into the lead out of nowhere overnight, as the ballot closed with a whopping 1,502 votes.
And so now we must return to manual voting, which we’ll do in the style of nominations. Head to the comment section, where I’ll list every nominees name, and you can cast your vote by hitting the “rec” button. You do need to have an account and be signed in to cast a vote.
