Last year's rookies, #12 runoff

I've been waiting and waiting and there still is essentially no separation between the votes for Derek Holland (26%) and Chris Tillman (25%).  So we are going to have a runoff.

Unlike a lot of other potential runoffs, where it is a question of whether you prefer the pitcher to the hitter, or even the slick fielding middle infielder to the power hitter, this is about as much of an "apples to apples" comparison as there could be.  Both are very young, shot through the minors quickly, struggled some at the major league level, but are perceived as having very high ceilings.

If you also want to use this thread to suggest new additions to the poll that would be great.  Among hitters I'm thinking we should get to Gardner and Borbon at some point, and also eventually try two guys who were old for rookies but peformed very well when they finally got their shots in Garret Jones and Casey McGehee.  Among pitchers, Bergesen, Cecil, Tommy Hunter, Gio Gonzalez, Daniel Bard and Mike Rzepczynski seem like possibilities.  If you like any of the group I just mentioned, or other guys I didn't, and would like to see them at some point, even if you are not prepared to vote for them quite yet, please list or discuss below.

Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving.
