Hudson, Torres win MiLBY's

[mzh]

Since these are minor league awards I put them in MO.

Hudson wins overall best pitcher of the year, Torres best Triple-A. Looking at their stats, its hard to argue they didn't deserve it. Congrats!

Very cool. I sincerely really hope that Hudson isn't traded. I think he has a bright future on the South Side.

It would be really cool if both of these guys (Hudson and Torres) succeed with the White Sox. It would be welcome to have more good young arms come up and help out the big club.

I agree. But I don't have much confidence in Carlos Torres at this point.

Ya, I know. I wasn't too impressed with him at the big league level either, but he has showed some nice progression in the minors. Maybe he'll be nothing more than a AAAA pitcher but I'm hopeful.

That's what makes his dominating the cubs that much more funny.

No mention of former Sox prospect Chris Carter winning overall best hitter award? Traded as part of the Carlos Quentin trade IIRC.

All he does is catch touchdowns.

To be fair, Carter did drop his K rate and raise his average a bit in '09. But yeah, he does display an all or nothing swing quite often. He's also really struggling in Mexico, batting .212 with an insane amount of strikeouts.

That was actually a joke about Cris Carter, the football player, when he was let go by the Eagles Buddy Ryan was quoted as saying, "All he does is catch touchdowns"

We got a really good hitter for Carter; if cunningham turns nto something special, then I'll be annoyed

I know, I thought you were referring to his propensity to swing for the fences. Sort of "All he wants to do is hit home runs". The quote was "All he wants to do is catch touchdowns". Man was Buddy Ryan a big dope as a head coach.
