The calendar is hitting mid-December while the Winter Meetings and the Rule 5 Draft are in the rear-view mirror. As such, we’re at what is usually one of my favorite times of the Purple Row calendar: the polling for the top 30 Purple Row Prospects (PuRPs), which will be done in the comments of this thread over the next few weeks. This year, my usual joy is tempered by the general lousiness of 2020 and the upcoming structural changes to Minor League Baseball.
Since the last time we did this (here’s the pre-season 2020 list), somehow both a lot and not much has happened.
