Who will join Jordan Scott, the 2011 Farmstros Player of the Year, on the Farmstros' Village awards podium this week? It's time to decide. Voting runs through Thursday, September 22.
The Candidates:
Jake Buchanan, 22, RHP, Lancaster/Corpus Christi. Buchanan was the top pitcher for Lancaster in 2011. He made 25 starts, posting a 3.91 ERA in 158 2/3 IP. He made one start for Corpus Christi at the end of the season, allowing just one run in seven innings.
Ryan Cole, 23, RHP, Tri-City. Cole, a 2010 draft pick, led the short season Valley Cats with 10 saves. He had a 2.33 ERA with 25 strikeouts in 27 innings pitched.
Jorge DeLeon, 24, RHP, Lexington. 2011 was the converted infielder's first full season as a pitcher. He was second in the Astros' minor league system with 16 saves. In 43 appearances, DeLeon struck out 51 in 55 1/3 IP and posted a 3.42 ERA.
Dayan Diaz, 22, RHP, Tri-City. Diaz missed almost all of 2009 and 2010 with injury so his strong return was a pleasant surprise. For the Valley Cats in 2011, he pitched 50 innings and struck out 70. He posted a 1.98 ERA in 19 outings.
Blake Ford, 23, RHP, GCL Astros. The Astros picked up Ford out of Lamar University in the 2011 Draft. He led the Gulf Coast League entry in wins(four) and saves (eight). Ford posted a 1.90 ERA with 20 strikeouts in 23 2/3 IP.

Kyle Hallock, 23, LHP, Tri-City. After being drafted in June 2011, Hallock made 13 starts for the Valley Cats. He had a 2.63 ERA with 61 strikeouts in 61 2/3 innings.
Dallas Keuchel, 23, LHP, Corpus Christi/Oklahoma City. Keuchel was the anchor of the Corpus Christi staff before being called up to Oklahoma City. In 20 AA starts, he pitched 127 2/3 innings and had a 3.17 ERA. He struggled in his seven starts for the AAA RedHawks, but he was impressive in his home starts for Oklahoma City.
