Mission: To determine the top-50
prospects in baseball in 2002.
Participants: BDBL owners
Method: Every three days, five prospects are voted "off the
island" by our panel of experts. Prospects are ranked in terms of the number of
votes they received. Participants choose five prospects in the order they feel they
deserve to be kicked off the island. 1-5 points are assigned to each ranking, and
the voting is tallied every three days. Ties are decided by the number of prior
points accumulated. The five players with the five highest point totals are
eliminated. The first two votes (2/25 and 2/28) determines which players belong in
the top-50.
FINAL RESULTS:
Comparison of BDBL Top 50 to other "experts"
