Interesting voting this past round. Rougned Odor wins the round, with the most first place votes and the most second place votes as well. Odor gets 28 points, followed by Javier Baez with 18 and Travis D'Arnaud with 13. Also with a good bit of support are James Paxton with 9 and Jake Odorizzi with 7. Nick Castellanos and Colin McHugh get three points each. No votes for Dellin Betances or Kevin Keirmaier.

Based on their getting no support, we will temporarily drop Kevin Keirmaier and Dellin Betances,.
We'll bring back Kolton Wong and I'll keep my promise to take another look at Joe Panik once Rougned Odor gets on the list. .
This leaves as temporarily dropped:
Danny Santana 0 votes (round 11), Billy Hamilton 0 votes (round 12), Ender Inciarte 0 votes (round 12), Dellin Betances 0 votes (round 13), Kevin Keirmaier, 0 votes (round 13)
We are going to add Trevor Bauer to the ballot this round.
Players who are still on the list to get their first time on the ballot are Ken Giles, Jackie Bradley, Jr., Roenis Elias, Matt Shoemaker, Carlos Martinez, Kyle Hendricks, and Jonathon Schoop. I haven't yet decided what order I am going to add them, but I am thinking of trying out Shoemaker. Suggestions appreciated..
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 #14 prospect among last year's rookie class?
