Last year's rookies, top community prospects for future performance #11

 

The highest remaining ranked player from last year's community list, Travis Snider, with 25% of the vote is named the 11th ranked player among last year's rookies, beating out several other players in the 15% range.  It will be interesting to say who wins this round, as it is not at all clear cut from last round's results. Here is where we are so far:

1. Matt Wieters, C Baltimore

2. Tommy Hanson, P Atlanta

3. Andrew McCutchen, of Pittsburgh

4. Brett Anderson P Oakland

5 Gordon Beckham, 3b CHW

6. Rick Porcello, P Detroit.

7.Elvis Andrus, SS Texas

8. Colby Rasmus, of St. Louis

9. David Price, P Tampa Bay

10. Travis Sinder, of Toronto 

 

 

Star-divide

Matt Laporta, J.A. Happ, Cameron Maybin and Luis Valbuena all got less than 5% of the vote last round and are temporarily dropped from the voting, although Happ and Maybin got close and will be back quickly.

temporarily dropped from the poll (percentage and round in parens) Ricky Romero 0% (5), Mat Gamel 1% (6), Drew Stubbs 2% (7), Nolan Reimold 2% (7), Trevor Cahill 3% (8), Andrew Bailey 3% (8), Kyle Blanks 1% (8),  Gerardo Parra 0% (8), Jeff Neimann, 1% (9), Matt Laporta 3% (10), Luis Valbuena 2% (10), Cameron Maybin 4% (10), J.A. Happ 4% (10)

This round we add back Ricky Romero, Mat Gamel, Drew Stubbs and Nolan Reimold and add Randy Wells for the first time.

Kyle Blanks. He and Everth Cabrera need to be on this list.

Blanks and Cabrera

Blanks got just 1% only a few rounds ago. Cabrera is a good choice to add and will probably be added next round.
