The Cincinnati Reds have been lauding the work of Jesse Winker and Steve Selsky, but Aristides Aquino won the minor league player of the year award from MLBPipeline.com. He is the 21st ranked prospect for the team, playing in advanced A-ball. Selsky may have ended the season in Cincinnati, but Aquino had the better year. Amir Garrett, looking to join the Cincinnati rotation next year, was named pitcher of the year.
Winker batted .303 with a .397 OBP in 106 games. He only scored 39 runs somehow despite getting on base 174 times between walks and hits.
