After two consecutive rounds in which Brett Anderson had narrowly outpolled McCutchen as others won the polls, this time Andrew McCutchen narrowly outpolls Brett Anderson- 33% to 30% and so is the third best prospect for future performance among last year's rookies
1. Matt Wieters, C Baltimore
2. Tommy Hanson, P Atlanta
3. Andrew McCutchen, OF Pittsburgh
David Price and Colby Rasmus go back on the poll this round. We'll also give Rick Porcello a try and take a bit of a flier with Kyle Blanks, who barely exceeded the rookie limit, but did it with quite a bang.
Chris Coghlan, Chris Tillman, and Matt Laporta all got less than 5% of the vote and are being dropped for the moment, although in the case of Tillman and Laporta they will definitely be back very soon, probably next round.
temporarily dropped because of low support: Travis Snider 2% (2), Cameron Maybin 0% (2), Chris Tillman 4% (3), Matt Laporta 4% (3), Chris Coghlan 1% (4)
Among those likely to be tested in the next two rounds are Trevor Cahill, Jeff Niemann, and Mat Latos in addition to bringing back Laporta and Tillman. Other suggestions greatly appreciated.
