Vote for Mat Gamel as USA Today's MiLB Player of the Year
His competition is Rays uber-pitching prospect David Price, Pirates Orioles catching stud Matt Wieters, A's arriviste Trevor Cahill, and the inexplicably-traded-for-Casey Blake Carlos Santana, AKA exhibit 39(f) in Los Angeles Dodgers Base-Ball Club vs. their minor league prospects.
Prince Fielder won the award in 2003, and Gabe Kapler won it way back in 1998, when he was in the Tigers organization.

Other notable winners
Todd Zeile and Andruw Jones (twice).
At some point, Andruw Jones and Laynce Nix should end up in the same outfield.

Am I missing something about Santana?
22 years old in high A, has an OPS of about 1.000, and is a catcher no less, and he was traded for a rental of Casey Blake?
I voted for Gamel too, but isn’t it awesome that he’s like fourth on the team in batting average?
And neck size to baby eating ratio.

It is, and it isn't re: Gamel
He’s a stud, but his BA has dropped like 30-some points since the ASB (I think).

So has Lance Berkman's
It’s hard to hit .360.

That's why Berkman didn't even make the ballot!
:D

Carlos Santana?
I have his Supernatural CD
I was unaware he was making a forray into major league ball-play. Isn’t he a bit old for that?

I think he's completely over-rated
Seriously, all he did was playing his guitar over songs that already existed, no originality.
also, I’m sure he performed that in a pretty good hitters park.
The Chubber Lang Report is back!!!
