USA Today is completely full of crap
Somehow, the Red Sox' Xander Bogaerts won USA Today's Minor League Player of the Year award.
The fast climb to the majors, his standout season and obvious tools made Bogaerts' the logical choice as USA TODAY Sports' Minor League Player of the Year, following 2012 winner Wil Myers and 2011 honoree Paul Goldschmidt.
This is odd. Because when they held the online voting (of which fans were apparently 2/3 of the vote), Archie Bradley won handily over Springer. So, because it's USA Today, we created a little infographic to help them realize the error of their ways.

Now, please keep in mind that this is not intended as a slam against Bogaerts - he had a very good season at Age 20 and earned a call-up to the Red Sox because that franchise is in a different place (1st) than Houston.
This is, however, intended as a slam against USA Today, since they are silly. Bogaerts did well, and is young. That's the only possible reason in which Bogaerts would win MiLB player of the year over George Springer, who is having a historic minor-league season.

A solitary Jose Altuve takes infield with no one around
Jeff Luhnow tweeted a pic from Kissimmee of Jose Altuve, completely by himself, taking infield. Regard the diminutive infielder, solitarily fielding a ball from an unseen hitter, sets his feet and prepares to throw the ball to an imaginary Carlos Lee, standing eighteen feet wide at first base...

Oh heck, and yes
Sweet picture in the Astros County inbox last night:
Here we have, from left to right, Grant Hogue, Aaron Bray, and B.J. Hyatt. And that's a Proof of Citizenship. Thanks to our boy, the adopted Aaron Bray. This is the first documented case of someone receiving an Astros' paycheck with a Proof of Citizenship. Download your own on the right and send it to astroscounty@hotmail.com.
