FINAL Community Prospect List (+ Honorable Mention Results)

I'd like to start by giving shout-outs to everybody who made this possible: Brickhaus for starting us off until he got bored and started screwing off; whoever thought of this originally back at midseason before Brickhaus stole their idea, I forget who that was and it doesn't matter; myself of course; daveh and BaseballBrain for filling in the gaps; and Havok for bringing it home.  

I'd also like to thank all of you little people out there who voted and participated in the discussions; this wouldn't have been possible without you.  Well, it would have - in fact the list probably would have been better if nobody had participated but me - but we have to say that.  I personally think that we made a pretty good list, except maybe toward the end; that we all (hopefully) learned some things; and that if nothing else, we had some good arguments.  

In fact, I'm pretty sure of that last item. Here's the final list.
