I tweaked the tester list a bit

But I’d still like some more feedback, other than from the 4 or so that have posted feedback in the past 4-5 polls.

by auclairkeithbc on Jan 12, 2026 8:40 PM EST up reply actions  

next 10 and Hedges

here’s my next 10 from the tester list. Also, I am somewhat optimistic that Hedges will hit. I probably have him higher than most because of that.

Swihart
Bethancourt
Pastornicky
Adams
Lindsey
Cox
Cron
Brentz
Hedges
Cowart

by ROBERTS04 on Jan 12, 2026 9:16 PM EST up reply actions  

Swihart is probably my #1 of the current testers.

my next five, from testers

Christian Bethancourt
Hector Sanchez - new tester, and very underrated young Giants catcher
Jackie Bradley Jr
Ronald Torreyes
Matt Adams
Brian Goodwin

Another new one I’d like to add for discussion is Hector Gomez, Rockies. I know he hit .235 in AA but, he has SS skills, power, some speed and, has missed development time with injuries. I still think he could be an Alex Gonzalez type major leaguer, maybe.

As it seems Rosario is pulling away, and is a shoe in this round, I agree with this order.
