Congratulations to Adrian Salcedo who convincingly won the Thirteenth spot in this year's poll with 82 of the 263 votes (31%). Chris Parmelee was a distant second with Kyle Waldrop, Deolis Guerra and Anthonly Slama all about another ten votes back.
With everyone receiving more than three percent of the vote, the only player added to the next round will be last summer's third round pick, lefty Pat Dean. Dean, who was a product of Boston College, joined the Elizabethton Twins late in the season. He made five starts with a 2.59 ERA and 32 strikeouts with only one walk in 24.1 innings. With numbers like that, all of us have to be wondering if he is a left handed version of Kevin Slowey?
This round will remain open for two days until 3pm, Sunday, December 26th. Tomorrow I will be posting a related question dealing with whether or not we want to include Tsuyoshi Hishioka in this process.
And now to everyone here at Twinkie Town, a most Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday!
