Jesus Montero was named the Triple-A International League Player of the Month, a completely deserved honor. Montero has simply killed the ball for weeks now. Melky Mesa, meanwhile, is your High-A Florida State League Player of the Week. That’s not as cool as being Player of the Month, but it ain’t too shabby.
Jose Ramirez was voted as having the Best Changeup in Baseball America’s Low-A Best Tools (sub. req’d). Also, make sure you check out Rebecca’s photos from Tuesday’s Short Season Staten Island game.
