I knew somebody would be a joker and vote for Yorman Rodriguez.

I voted for Billy Hamilton. I'm still a big fan of Yonder Alonso but I like Hamilton better. He's an incredible athlete, has great defensive tools at second base and shortstop, and has great upside. As a 19-year old this season, Hamilton hit .318/.383/.456 - .839 OPS in 316 plate appearances with Billings. He showed an ability to draw a walk and stole 48 bases in 57 attempts. Not bad for someone who is still learning to switch-hit and is viewed as very raw.
