also receiving a fair amount of support in the final round were Juan Nicasio (pitcher, Colorado Rockies), Dayan Viciedo (3b Chicago White Sox) and Dee Gordon ss Los Angeles Dodgers)

Others on the ballot in the final round and receiving a vote or receiving a vote by write in were: JD Martinez, Lucas Duda, Allen Craig, and Eric Thames

That leaves as the group who were on the ballot but never found any support: Kyle Drabek, Ben Revere, Mike Carp, Josh Collmenter, Kenley Jansen, Aaron Crow, Tyler Chatwood, Ivan Nova, Alex Cobb and Jordan Walden..

Never even got on the ballot: tJordan Lyles, Jerry Sands, Craig Gentry, Al Alberquerque, Kyle Seager, Brian Bogusevic, Greg Holland and we also never got to Hank Conger.

I enjoyed doing this--having just done 25 plus a few write ins and knowing how much time that took a definite shout out is in order to those continuing to hack away at the "main" community prospect lists

I'll close with a final poll. Which major league team had what will go down as the best rookie class of 2011
