The Rays haven't said who wins their annual minor-league awards, but we apparently know one victor.
Right-hander Winston Abreu is Durham's pitcher of the year, according to a Bulls release announcing the team's postseason roster. Abreu was 3-1 with a 1.94 ERA in 37 appearances this year. He allowed just 23 hits in 51 innings, walked 16 and struck out 77.
The Rays annually honor a minor-league hitter and pitcher of the year, plus name a top hitter and pitcher for each of their affiliates. They spread the wealth, so the organizational winners won't double-up and win a team award, too. The Rays bring in the honorees for an on-field ceremony near the end of the season.
Who are your picks?

I would pick Jeremy Hellickson for Pitcher of the Year. He is a combined 9-2 with a 2.45 ERA. Has a 132:29 strikeout to walk ratio. He also lowered the number of HRs he allowed.
I would pick Desmond Jennings for Hitter of the Year. He hit a combined .318 with 11 HRs and 62 RBIs from the lead-off spot. He was also successful stealing 52 out of 59 bases.
For Montgomry
Hellickson - Pitcher of Year
Jennings - Hitter of the Year
Hellickson & Jennings and I'm not sure it's all that close.
