Tim Saunders Wins the CCO’s Fan Poll

March 12, 2013 11:00 pm By Tom U. 6 Comments

The results of this year’s minor league fan poll are in … and the 86 players nominated surpassed last year’s poll by 16. With 362 votes cast, it easily outdistanced last season’s total of 236. In the end, infielder/ outfielder Tim Saunders pulled ahead of RHP Dillon Maples, OF Reggie Golden, and a last minute surge by 3B Jesse Hodges for the victory by six votes.

Over the next three weeks, there will be a poll of the top 20 vote-getters the right sidebar of the site and included in the weekly Down on the Farm Reports. Cast your vote on the ten players you want the CCO to post weekly stats updates on throughout the upcoming season. You may vote for as many players as you would like, up to 10, but only one voting session per IP address. Only the top 10 will be followed, so make sure to cast your votes …
