The voting breakdown after Worley was: Danny Duffy 25%, Mark Trumbo 11%, Zach Britton 11% (write in), Jose Altuve 11%, Lucas Duda 3%, Lonnie Chisenhall 3% (write in), Dee Gordon 3% (write in), Brian Bogusevic 3% (write in), Allen Craig 3% (write in). Kenley Jansen Aaron Crow, Tyler Chatwood and Juan Nicasio all got 0%..
Kenley Jansen, Aaron Crow, Tyler Chatwood and Juan Nicasio are permanently dropped. Although he didn't get that much support this round, because he has gotten more in other rounds I am going to leave Lucas Duda on the ballot.
We'll bring back JD Martinez, Ivan Nova, Alex Cobb, Jordan Walden and Zach Britton this round. ,
In rotation: Dayan Viciedo 0% (round 20) Allen Craig 3% (round 21), Lonnie Chisenhall 3% (round 21), Dee Gordon 3% (round 22), Henderson Alvarez 3% (round 22)
permanently dropped: Kyle Drabek, Ben Revere, Mike Carp, Josh Collmenter, Kenley Jansen, Aaron Crow, Tyler Chatwood and Juan Nicasio
We'll give Eric Thames his first time on the ballot this round, leaving as possible testers for the last round:
Jordan Lyles, Jerry Sands, Craig Gentry, Al Alberquerque, Kyle Seager, Brian Bogusevic and Greg Holland.
As always voting is by +1 and there are places below to vote for players not currently on the ballot or to say which tester your prefer. Remember this is the last round so if you want someone on the ballot next round, now is the time to say so.
So who is your number 24 prospect for future performance among last year's rookies?

for Brian Bogusevic
"We did a lot of good things last year, and now we've got Julio ... That does nothing but improve the offense, and we expect to do better. That's our goal, to lead the NFL in everything. Every offensive category." -Roddy White

if there is a groundswell of support for him, so be it...
but not having seen him play I wonder why we should believe the 100 and something at bats in the majors more than we believe his last three years in AAA?

JD Martinez
get him on the board, criminally underrated at this point
middle of the order bat, pushed up early by the Stros, gets overlooked for a variety of reasons
plenty of upside still left in him, seems to get it
