Rookie Class of 2010 Best Prospect for Future Performance #23

In round 21, Jenrry Mejia came in a five way tie for sixth place.  In round 21 he takes a narrow victory to go down as the #22 rookie from last year's class for future performance. 

Here is the voting breakdown: Jenrry Mejia 14%, Reid Brignac 12%, Tyler Colvin 12%, Jonathon Niese 9%, Carlos Carrasco 9%, Jose Tabata 9%, Mike Leake 9%, John Jaso 9%, Michael Saunders 7%, Jonny Venters 5%, Drew Storen 2%, Gaby Sanchez 2%, Danny Valencia 0%

which makes the current standings:

1. Jason Heyward, outfielder Atlanta Braves

2. Buster Posey, catcher San Francisco Giants

3. Stephen Strasburg, pitcher Washington Nationals

4. Carlos Santana, catcher Cleveland Indians

5. Michael Stanton, outfielder Florida Marlins

6. Madison Bumgarner, pitcher San Francisco Giants

7. Starlin Castro, shortstop Chicago Cubs

8. Brian Matusz, Pitcher Baltimore Orioles

9. Pedro Alvarez, third base, Pittsburgh Pirates

10. Neftali Feliz, pitcher, Texas Rangers

11. Logan Morrison, outfielder Florida Marlins

12. Jhoulys Chacin, pitcher Colorado Rockies 

13. Daniel Hudson, pitcher Arizona Diamondbacks

14. Justin Smoak, first base, Seattle Mariners

15. Jaime Garcia, pitcher St Louis Cardinals

16t. Austin Jackson, outfielder Detroit Tigers

16t. Ryan Kalish, outfielder, Boston Red Sox

16t. Wade Davis, pitcher Tampa Bay Rays

19. Ike Davis, first base, New York Mets

20. Travis Wood, pitcher Cincinnati Reds

21. Neil Walker, second base Pittsburgh Pirates

22. Jenrry Mejia, pitcher  New York Mets

 

Based on last round's voting I am going to temporarily drop Drew Storen and Gaby Sanchez.  With zero votes this round I will drop Danny Valencia permanently,although he can of course be added back as a write in vote.  I actually kind of like him and wouldn't rule out doing that myself in a few rounds.  I am going to bring back Mitch Moreland and Michael Brantley this round, and for the first time add Andrew Cashner.

Temporarily dropped players:   Brennan Boesch 0% (16), Brett Wallace 0% (19);  John Axford 0% (20), Josh Thole 0% (20), Alcides Escobar 0% (21), Peter Bourjos 0% (21), Jake Arrieta 0% (21); Drew Storen 2% (22), Gaby Sanchez 2% (22)

Permanently dropped players: Danny Valencia 0% (22)

Next round I am going to add Alexi Ogando and Ian Desmond.  The round after I am going to add Kila Ka'aihue.  In rounds 26 and 27, which I expect to be the final round,  I am going to add 2-3 out of a group including  Chris Johnson, Brooks Conrad, Alex Sanabia, Wilton Lopez and Sergio Santos.  If you have any preferences among them or if you want anyone else added instead, please discuss below. 

As a reminder voting is by +1.

"We have gotten to the point where not only big market clubs are going over slot, but small market clubs are going over slot, and they see it as a competitive advantage. I don’t think we can be left behind in that regard. I think that we've got to be open minded about it, and we intend to be." - Sandy Alderson

Leake being as low as he is here, is an injustice, in my opinion. Okay, its not exactly a REAL injustice but, you know what I mean. I think he’s better than that.

okay, maybe this is a bit of a homer pick, but watching him regularly in Frisco in 09 and with the Rangers this past season I really like his chances of being an average to above average major league starting first baseman fro a while. I’m not expecting another Teixeira, but I don’t see why he can’t be another Pete O’brien.

Question

I haven’t been following thing all that closely but, why is someone like Storen eligible but, no love for Craig Kimbrel? He’s awesome, is he not elligible?

simple answer

We are only including in this poll players who used up their rookie eligibility during the 2010 season. Kimbrel will still be a rookie next year, just like Feliz, for example, was a rookie this past season although he pitched quite a bit in 2009. Kimbrel will be eligible for the community prospect poll, however.

Thanks Dalman

It’s ineresting, what you are doing nonetheless. I like to be able to look back at who we though were going to be the best rookies. Has Jenry Mejia ued up his eligibility?
