Neftali Feliz definitely received at least one first place vote for American League Rookie of the Year.
Seth Livingston of USA Today is a member of the Baseball Writers' Association of America and awarded his first place vote to the Rangers closer.

Livingston's ballot: 1.Neftali Feliz, Rangers; 2. Austin Jackson, Tigers; 3.Brennan Boesch, Tigers

Livingston's explanation: "This was essentially a neck-and-neck, two-horse race the last two months of the season. Neftali Feliz and Austin Jackson were both highly viable candidates in my mind. Both had excellent numbers. I went with Feliz because of what he meant to the Rangers' championship season. Rookies don't usually take over as closers and I can't recall a rookie closer playing for a team strong enough to make it deep into the playoffs."
