Christin Stewart and Matt Hall were named the Detroit Tigers’ minor league player and pitcher of the year on Thursday. Both players had strong seasons, and are deservedly playing in the major leagues now because of their accomplishments in the minors. Early returns on Stewart at the MLB level look solid, as already he has three hits and three walks in just a few games of action (Hall has yet to make his major league debut).
But we disagree. The Bless You Boys staff voted shortstop Isaac Paredes and righthander Matt Manning as our Tigers minor league player and pitcher of the year.
