Minors MVP of the Day – I try not to go with org. guys like Brooks Conrad, but how can I not? It’s one of the most obvious picks of the year.

Minors Cy of the Day – Also an easy pick, and Matthew Bowman has really turned his season around lately, which will surely please SAMBA (Society for the Advancement of Matthew Bowman Appreciation).
