POLL: Which Small Dry-Bulker Will Rise?

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Enough with the DryShips! In three previous polls, we've asked our loyal dry-bulk readers to register their opinions regarding some of the larger companies in the sector, including not only DryShips(DRYS Quote), but also Diana Shipping(DSX Quote), Genco Shipping & Trading(GNK Quote) and several other names with relatively high market caps.

Now, we ask you, instead: Which small dry-bulk outfit has the potential to break out and blow up? Which company has the leadership, the cajones, the savvy, the gumption, to become a force to be reckoned with among the big(ger) boys?

Here's a selection of lesser-known publicly traded mariners, in ascending order of market-cap size: Top Ships(TOPS Quote), FreeSeas(FREE Quote), OceanFreight(OCNF Quote), Euroseas(ESEA Quote) and Paragon Shipping(PRGN Quote).

Place your bets and take your pick. And, as always, feel free to leave a comment explaining your choice -- or even to write in a new candidate not included in our list.
