I want to do something fun and interesting (at least to me) with rankings this year and walking through my process. However, that requires doing some ranked choice voting, and I didn’t want to go down that full path without trialing it, so I wanted a test run with something a bit more light.
So I decided to start with an informal little poll about who the best hitter and pitcher in the Phillies minor leagues this year was. I did my best to do 10 names for each and then if you want to right in someone you can do that as well. If you have feedback that can help the process in the future, let me know so I can make the actual project better. Feel free to use whatever criteria you want to use to determine your ranking.
