Hello all,

Our long national nightmare is at an end. After an impressive outpouring of votes, Mike Olt has come out ahead of our five-player rundown, so we can move on ahead with the rankings. The official (sort of) rundown count is:

Mike Olt: 116
Jon Singleton: 100
Trevor Rosenthal: 98
Kevin Gausman: 95
Billy Hamilton: 80

Thanks to all who helped me compile the votes or gave suggestions, and my apologies if the rundown system was confusing or inefficient.

Byron Buxton and Carlos Martinez were duking it out for the next spot before our rundown, so that's who I'll begin listing here. Then I'll throw up a few more names and we can keep on keeping on.

Here's the list to this point for clarification:

1. Jurickson Profar
2. Dylan Bundy

4. Wil Myers
5. Gerrit Cole
