Who is your Minor League MVP?
I think it's a little different than the most talented, Alonso is probably the most talented but who had the MVP year, a pitcher or batter?
Mine, I'll go with Chris Heisey. |

Re: Who is your Minor League MVP?
Juan Francisco, I am not a fan of his future, but to deny his minor league present is, to overlook one of the best minor league seasons by a Reds prospect in a very long time.

Re: Who is your Minor League MVP?
I'll go with Travis Wood. 167 IP, 1.77 ERA, 1.04 WHIP.

Re: Who is your Minor League MVP?
Seems like it's gotta be either Heisey or Wood. They were headlines all year; well, most of the year. I like Francisco a lot and, unlike many, think he has a terrific major-league future, but he was quiet for much of the season at Carolina. Heisey far exceeded him there. And Wood's season at Carolina was practically epic.

Re: Who is your Minor League MVP?
Travis Wood. I know about major league projections and all...but I'm looking forward to seeing him compete at the next level. He could be a sleeper in my opinion (being that he isn't projected as a 1 or 2 at the MLB level).

Re: Who is your Minor League MVP?
I do think it's probably Wood or Heisey, however I gotta give some serious props to Lehr. #1 His season was pretty nice and he did help Homer get over the proverbial hump, so he helped improve his teammates as well.
But strictly from a dominance standpoint Travis Wood has to get the nod IMO.
