Mariners Farm Team of the Month (May)

Bryce Miller was superb this monthThis week, in lieu of the normal State of the Farm post, we’re going to recognize the top performers at each position for the past month and create an All-Star Team for the month of May down on the farm. “All-Star” is in this case somewhat relative, as certain position groups are deeper than others; we battled over who would take the five starting pitching spots (Kyle attempted to sneak in the entire Arkansas Travelers rotation), while Justin Lavey ran unopposed at second base. In cases where it was close, we tried to look at other factors, like a player’s age at the level or other contributions like defense or stolen bases. Next month this should be an even more fun exercise as rookie-level ball will have been well underway at the complexes, and the month after that we’ll have a crop of new draftees to talk about. Whee! But on to the distinguished award that is the Lookout Landing Farm Team of the Month, or the LLofties.
