Comparison: Sickels and Mound Talk's community lists
It was remarkable how similar the 2 lists were 1 thru 29. But there's been a divergence since then. Here are the players on either list that are ranked as high as #61, plus the ones on our current poll:

-- 48 Beau Mills
-- 50 Tim Alderson
-- 54 Max Scherzer
-- 55 Scott Elbert
-- 56 Will Inman
-- 60 Jeremy Jeffress
x = on current poll
The players that differ by more than 13 places on the lists are Lowrie (+29), Soto (+39), Davis (at least +49), Hu (+20), Hochevar (+39), Teagarden (-20), A. Miller (+23), Guerra (+19) and C. Carrasco (at least -16). Of these, I think they have Lowrie, Hochevar and Davis more where they should be (altho I think Davis should be on the back end of the list), whereas I think we're more right on Guerra, I think they're even more wrong on Teagarden than we are and I think we'll end up being more right when we rank Carrasco. Also, we'll be closer on Walden, who should get ranked soon, whereas he didnt make their list. And, I think they're way off on Masterson, Mills, Scherzer, Elbert and Jeffress who we havent ranked. I think all these belong toward the back end, and Jeffress probably shouldnt be on at all.
Gomez wasnt eligible for our list, and evidently Fukudome (and Kuroda) werent eligible for theirs.
Overall, both lists are good, but I like ours better right now.

btw-nice work.
ps:please modify the original to include the major differences on this. It's the most important piece IMO.
