With a little more than a month left in the MiL season, I think now is a good time to look at the POY candidates. First off are the pitchers. This will be a no-brainer if Cole can figure out the AA level in the next month, but for now it is fairly wide open. These are my top contenders...

Jeff Locke, 24, AAA 8-5 2.83 ERA .98 WHIP

Bryan Morris, 25, AAA 2.48 ERA 59K in 61.2 IP

Brandon Cumpton, 23, AA 10-8 3.32 ERA 116.2 IP

Phil Irwin, 25, AA 3.16 ERA 3 CG 5.46 K/BB

Victor Black, 24, AA 1.26 ERA 11.9 K/9 0 HRA 43 IP

Gerrit Cole, 21, A+/AA 7-5 3.19 ERA 9.2 K/9 93 IP

Luis Heredia, 17, A- 1.85 ERA 1.03 WHIP (34 IP)

Clay Holmes, 19, A- 4-1 0.80 ERA 4.3 H/9! (33.2 IP)

Who ya got?
