Today, we hand out the award for Player of the Year for the New Britain Rock Cats, 2015’s AA Eastern League affiliate of the Colorado Rockies.
More From Minors
The New Britain Rock Cats — well, more or less everybody in the Eastern League — didn’t hit much in 2015, so when we’re looking for a Player of the Year in a pitcher’s league, well, you sometimes have to get creative.
Fortunately, we didn’t have to stretch too far in finding Michael Tauchman, the Rock Cats’ right fielder who started 131 games and led New Britain in many statistical categories.
