Topps and MiLB came out today with their awards for the top players in each of the minor leagues.

The full list can be found here.

For the Yankees, Shelley Duncan of the International League and Austin Romine of the Florida State League took home the honors.

Duncan, a Yankee fan favorite was .277/30/99; Romine was .276/13/72 in what is generally considered to be a pitcher’s league.

Jesus Montero did not make the list, but there are probably a couple of reasons why–his season was split in two leagues, A+ and AA, and he missed the final month with a rather grotesque finger injury.

Still, it’s nice when all aspects of the Yankee organization can do well, as seems to be the case here.
