It won't be announced until the 12th.
mlb.com says ROY's announced on November 12th.
Okay.. This is the only article I've found which indicates that Wade Miley won it.

Frazier voted NL's Outstanding Rookie, by fellow players (MLB Players Choice Award)
There are 3 different awards. Frazier won the award voted on by the players. The Sporting News names their own Rookies of the Year which was announced last week. Then the main rookied of the year is voted on by the baseball writers and that will be announced next week.
Rather than start a new thread, I thought I'd insert this Joe Poz article about ROY voting and some history that is fascinating. I'll probably link to it when the award is announced tonight.

came in 3rd, 60 points behind Miley and 67 behind Harper. Thought he'd be tighter than that.
I thought Miley should have had it followed by Harper then Frazier. Frazier had a terrible late August through the rest of the year, but by no means should Harper have gotten it over Miley! JMHO
Miley falling apart in September cost him the award.
Harper has the brightest future, but I still think Frazier should have won overall. Congrats to both kids though, hope to enjoy watching both play for years to come.
