I'm glad you asked because it made me look a little closer than I normally do. It helped that it's the worst BB day of the year (absolutely nothing happens except for worthless drafting, which I'm not even doing this year).

I'll make this guy it for me. He only has 17 homers and 58 RBI. No big deal. That's what I've thought all season. Then I looked closer today. He did that in only 231 at bats. Whoa. That changes things completely. He's a switch-hitter and inexplicably not getting much playing time. Congrats, Three Finger.

I love this thread idea. I don't have an amazing choice... none of my minor leaguers had a stat line that jumped out as dominating for the season.

So, I pick Mason Orr, one of my POT 11 hopefuls.

He's 19 and a Great Hitter/Decent Slugger future DH with poor speed and atrocious fielding with poor range and arm (a nice combo for a POT 11... no wasted SI).

For the season, he batted .338 with a nearly identical lefty/righty split and an .840 OPS.

Nobody really stood about but I'm quite pleased with how Vasquez did this year - grew by 15 SI while pitching 235 innings in AAA with a 2.37 ERA and 1.082 WHIP.

Behrens' development has been agonizingly slow (first season of AAA at 25) but his minor league stats are quite promising (.308/.361/.515 this year with reasonable power for a SS)

Without a doubt Aquino. After a couple of mediocre AA seasons, he jumped to AAA and obliterated. It looks almost like a career year in the minors. Best fielding percentage of career too.

Roy split his season between AA and AAA, and was great in both. Hopeful we might have a top end starter in him.

Camarillo hit 22 HRs in less than 400 ABs and wasn't a complete butcher behind the plate.

Fall River Naughty Dawgs

The Dawgs have a 1 and a 1a this season.
Unfortunately neither is a pitcher this time :(

Mauricio Robledo gets to take home the trophy this year after being the batting runner up last year
Drafted in round 7 in 2032, the 18 year old spent the full season in A ball posting a .297/.350/.478 line with 16 outfield assists.

Last year's winner, Gonzalo Ventura, split this season between A and AA as a 23 year old.
2032s 5th rounder, he fell aways short of last years 153run / 133rbi, 26 hr / 81 steal season.
This season he put up 99/104, 13/72 with a .320/.379/.476 line. We're hoping he dedicates himself his training and starts facing some age-appropriate competition soon.

Javier Ceja has been our best minor league player with an ERA under 3. Hopefully he will be out closer in a few years.
