Shall we try the 'slurve' lists again?

Earlier this year I offered to collect everyone's prospect rankings and put them together into a community list.  A few people didn't like how it was done and the wheels sort of came off from there.

I'm willing to try it again.  This time we will eliminate all the extra BS.  I'm not going to attempt to weight the list in any way.  I will simply act as a central hub that everyone can send their list to in order for it to be put into an excel spread sheet.  I'll set up a few basic functions so it will average the raw data, but will stop there.  Once it's complete, I'll post it here as well as send out the excel file to all who participated or request it.

The only ground rules I'll lay out are these:

  1.  Must be top 50 at minimum.  Most here can do 100 without problem - but finding the time isn't always the easiest thing to do.  
  2.  ANYONE is eligible who has not yet reached 130 AB's / 50 IP - regardelss of service time.  This includes foreign players, recent draftees, college players, etc.  I think these will be interesting to look at over time and if you can peg future stars before they are classically defined prospects - more power to ya. One of the hottest issues was whether foreign players should eligible. This will allow you to simply filter these players out yourself with a few mouse clicks - everyones happy!!!
  3.  No real deadline.  I'll probably take whatever data I have in a few weeks and put out the first edition.  As the off-season goes on - you can send in a list if you didn't previously or you can send an updated version of the list you had sent previously.  Thsi would also allow for those who only send in top 50 lists to add to it as they have more time.  Periodically I'll send out revised lists as new data accumulates until next season rolls around.
I think this would compliment the diary limo started for "dredging up old predictions" as it would be fairly easy to search for in the future once it gets posted here.

Lists can be sent to: slurveone@yahoo.com
