Brewer farmhand Eric Johnson won the class single A Pitcher of the Year award and he did have a fine season indeed. It is unclear whether Johnson can ever develop into a major league starter but he still has potential to develop, and is a high quality guy with good intelligence, so his progress will be monitored and the hope is that he may develop into a solid back-end of the rotation guy eventually.
Teammate Steve LaCoste came third in the voting. LaCoste is another good character guy with an outside chance of being a number 5 guy or swing-man someday.
