It looks like we are at an impasse in the voting between Julio Borbon and Andrew Bailey, each of which is at 21% of the vote with exactly the same number of votes. So, we are going to have a runoff, to decide who is #26 and who is #27. As we are only going 27 rounds that means that this runoff will be the last round of voting and that we won't be doing another round of open voting .
Everyone else in the voting for this past round, #26, got at least 5% of the vote and thus goes down as an honorable mention. All the players listed under "possibly returning in round 27" will be listed as "also receiving some support." So, the final standings will end up looking like this:
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 Snider, of Toronto
11. Dexter Fowler, of Colorado
12. Chris Tillman, p Baltimore
13t. Matt Latos, p San Diego
13t Derek Holland, p Texas
15. Cameron Maybin, of Florida
16t Chris Coghlan, of Florida
16t Trevor Cahill, P Oakland
18 Matt Laporta of/1b Cleveland
19 Kyle Blanks, of San Diego
20 Nolan Reimold, of Baltimore
21 Drew Stubbs, of Cincinatti
22. Ricky Romero, P Toronto
23 Daniel Bard, P Boston
24, Jeff Neimann, P Tampa Bay
25. Jordan Zimmerman, P Washington
26. tbd
27. tbd
hm Marc Rzpecysnski P Toronto
hm Mat Gamel, 3b Milwaukee
hm Jordan Schafer of Atlanta
hm Brad Bergesen P Baltimore
hm Gio Gonzalez, P Oakland
hm Clayton Richard, P San Diego
hm Gerado Parra, of Arizona
also receiving some support, Tommy Hunter, P Texas, Everth Cabrera, ss San Diego, Garret Jones, of Pittsburgh, Brett Cecil, P Toronto, J.A. Happ P Philadelphia
others considered but receiving only minimal support: Luis Valbuena if (Cle), Brett Gardner of (NYY), Cliff Pennington if (Oak), Taylor Teagarden C (Tex), Sean West P (FLO) Ryan Perry (Det), Randy Wells P (Cubs), Jake Fox 3b/of (Oak)
After this, I will do a wrap up thread which will include a poll asking which team has the best collection of talent among last year's rookies. But first #26 and #27. Here goes:

Bailey
I am a Ranger fan, have Borbon on my fantasy team and like him a lot. But I went with Bailey because there are two many questions about Borbon’s ability to generate the obp necessary for a lead off hitter and about his arm to ensure that he can be a center fielder at the major league level. If both of those are answered positively he gets a nice career as a leadoff hitter then his future is much more uncertain and not worth more than a guy who looks to be able to hold and prosper in a position in the back end of a major league bull pen.
meant to say
that if Borbon can’t generate obp and/or play a decent major league centerfield that his future is very uncertain and not worth Bailey.

Goes without saying that this one isn't clear-cut
I went with Borbon, mostly because of my anti-RP bias.
A leadoff hitting CF with plus defense is harder to find, and a more stable commodity, than a late-inning RP.
On that note...
Savvy Rangers fans will recognize my screen name from a former speedy all-glove Rangers CF prospect…
Let’s hope Julio doesn’t go the route of Ramon Nivar, he of Vlad Guerrero plate discipline and Rey Ordonez power.
you mean, Rey Ordonez?
