On Wednesday, the Detroit Tigers announced their 2019 Minor League Players of the Year. Infielders Willi Castro and Isaac Paredes split the honors on the position side, while righthander Matt Manning took home the Pitcher of the Year Award.
Here at Bless You Boys, we have announced our own winners in the past (our 2018 honorees will look familiar). This year, we want to expand our list a bit. Our friends at Lookout Landing created several different awards for the minor leaguers in the Seattle Mariners’ system, and we’re going to blatantly copy them adapt a few of their categories for our own use.
