Mike Moustakas takes round 10 of the voting for best of last year's rookies for future performance, making Kansas City the fourth team to have a pair of players on this list.
1. Brett Lawrie, 3b Toronto Blue Jays (51%)
2, Eric Hosmer, 1b Kansas City Royals (57%)
3. Michael Pineda, P Seattle Mariners (38%)
4. Dustin Ackley, 2b Seattle Mariners (41%)
5. Desmond Jennings, of Tampa Bay Rays (47%)
6. Jeremy Hellickson, P Tampa Bay Rays (49%)
7. Freddie Freeman, 1B Atlanta Braves (45%)
8. Brandon Beachy, P Atlanta Braves (27%)
9. Brandon Belt, OF/!B San Francisco Giants (33%)
10. Mike Moustakas, 3b Kansas City Royals (38%)
The voting breakdown for the tenth round round after Belt was, Dominic Brown 17%, Paul Goldschmidt 17%, Danny Espinosa 14%, Cory Luebke 10%, Wilson Ramos 2%, Aroldis Chapman 2%, and 0% for Henderson Alvarez and Jose Altuve.
I'm going to keep everyone on the ballot who got at least 5% of the vote, and drop everyone who didn't, taking Ramos, Chapman, Alvarez and Altuve off the ballot for now. We'll rotate back in Jordan Walden, Ivan Nova, Mark Trumbo and Jason Kipnis.
In rotation: Jemile Weeks 0% (round 7), Danny Duffy 0% (round7), Chris Sale 0% (round 8), Kyle Drabek 0% (round 8), Salvador Perez 0% (round 8), Zach Britton 0% (round 9), Vance Worley 0% (round 9), Craig Kimbrel 0% (round 9), Wilson Ramos 2% (round 10), Aroldis Chapman2% (round 10), Henderson Alvarez 0% (round 10), Jose Altuve 0% round 10
We'll give JD Martinez his first time on the ballot this round, leaving as future testers :
Josh Collmenter, Kenley Jansen, Lucas Duda, Dayan Viciedo, Juan Nicasio Alex Cobb, Mike Minor and Jordan Lyles.
As always voting is by +1 and there are places below to suggest testers or vote for players not currently on the ballot.
So who is your number 11 prospect for future performance among last year's rookies?

How has Dom Brown, consensus top four positional prospect last year, not made this list yet? He probably could have been on at #7, definitely should have been on before Mous, yet it looks like he will fall behind Danny Espinosa to at least #12.

If everybody likes you, then either no one knows anything about you, or you're dead.

I'm glad that we have Mark Trumbo listed, so that we can suss out the RBI people.
