Community Ratings of Last Year's Rookies #12

In one of the few wins last night for anyone with a de in the front of his name, Jake deGrom edges out Taijuan Walker to secure the #11 ranking on our list. No one else was even remotely close. Final results were 27 for deGrom to 24 for Walker. Way back were Rougned Odor and Javier Baez with 4 points each. Billy Hamilton and James Paxton (write in) each got 3. Two for Travis D'Arnaud, one for Nick Castellanos and Jake Odorizzi by write in. Zero for Joe Panik and Danny Santana.

1. Jose Abreu 1b Chicago White Sox

2. Xander Bogaerts SS/3B Boston Red Sox

3. Masahiro Tanaka Pitcher New York Yankees

4. Mookie Betts 2b/OF Boston Red Sox

5. Gregory Polanco OF Pittsburgh Pirates

6. George Spinger OF Houston Astros

7. Oscar Taveras OF St Louis Cardinals

8. Yordano Ventura Pitcher Kansas City Royals

9. Marcus Stroman Pitcher Toronto Blue Jays

10. Kevin Gausman Pitcher Batimore Orioles

11. Jacob deGrom, Pitcher New York Mets

Given that no one other than deGrom or Walker got many votes at all, I'm going to leave on the ballot everyone who got any support at all last round. That still means that I am temporarily dropping Joe Panik and Danny Santana who didn't get any votes..

We'll bring back Colin McHugh, James Paxton and Jake Odorizzi.

This leaves as temporarily dropped:

Dellin Bentances 0 votes (round 8), Kolton Wong 0 votes (round 10), Joe Panik 0 votes (round 11), Danny Santana 0 votes (round 11)

We are also going to add Ender Inciarte to the ballot for the first time this round. We'll get Kevin Keirmaier on the ballot next round.

Players who are still on the list to get their first time on the ballot are Kevin Kiermaier (1 vote round 7), Ken Giles, Jackie Bradley, Jr., Roenis Elias, Matt Shoemaker, Carlos Martinez and Trevor Bauer. Absent write in votes, I'm inclined to add them in pretty much the order I have them listed. If you want someone sooner, or if there is someone else you think deserves consideration for the top 20 that isn't listed, please suggest below..

As a reminder, voting is by +1 for your first choice and +2 for your second choice. Three points will be awarded for each +1 vote and 1 point for each +2 vote.

So, who is your #12 prospect among last year's rookie class?
