The nineteen year old Jose Ramirez received Minor League Baseball's award for Short-Season Pitcher of the Year. I've discussed Ramirez a lot here, and have very high hopes for him. Based on the quotes from Mark Newman, it appears that Ramirez will head to full-season ball in Charleston to start 2010.

Here's one of the quotes from Newman:

 

"He wasn't a high-profile guy, but he's kind of what we're searching for in Latin American pitching," said Mark Newman, the Yankees' senior vice president of baseball operations. "He had a feel for the strike zone. He can spin the ball and has a good feel for a changeup. He can get it up to 96 mph. And he throws strikes."

 

What's not to like?
