The first legitimate shot at a Ray winning ...
| Rk | Player | Team | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Elvis Andrus | Texas Rangers | 6 | 9 | 6 | 63 |
| 2 | Andrew Bailey | Oakland Athletics | 11 | 1 | 3 | 61 |
| 3 | Jeff Niemann | Tampa Bay Rays | 3 | 5 | 3 | 33 |
| 4 | Rick Porcello | Detroit Tigers | 2 | 7 | 2 | 33 |
| 5 | Brett Anderson | Oakland Athletics | 5 | 1 | 3 | 31 |
| 6 | Gordon Beckham | Chicago White Sox | 1 | 2 | 8 | 19 |
| 7 | Nolan Reimold | Baltimore Orioles | 1 | - | 1 | 6 |
| 8 | Matt Wieters | Baltimore Orioles | - | 1 | 3 | 6 |
| 9 | Brad Bergesen | Baltimore Orioles | - | 1 | - | 3 |
| 10 | Ricky Romero | Toronto Blue Jays | - | 1 | - | 3 |
| 11 | Travis Snider | Toronto Blue Jays | - | 1 | - | 3 |
At least he finished well ahead of Rick Porcello. I'm a bit amused (disturbed?) at how many first place votes Andrew Bailey received and how few Brett Anderson received. I mean, yeah ERA, but come on.

Me: Anderson, Andrus, Niemann
I only really feel strongly about Anderson. There are, maybe, 4-8 guys who could take the next two spots.
Silly, silly, Rick Porcello voters. Bailey’s not a bad option for 2nd/3rd.

Porcello only gets votes due to age.
Which goes back to a question I raised a while ago: should age matter at all in the ROY discussions? It hasn’t in the past when Ichiro won it. Or Matsui finished high. Or Sasaki. Why should it matter when it’s a really young guy and not a really old guy?

The 14-9 record with a 3.96 ERA reels 'em in, too.

How bout this question?
Instead of a reflective award, rank the top 3 in terms of Rookie with Most Successful Future

That puts Wieters, Porcello, and Anderson much higher

Not much love for Gordon Bombay, nor the pre-season locks, Price & Wieters.
I'm not really a NUMBERS guy!!
