awards for drabek and taylor

Not surprisingly, Kyle Drabek and Michael Taylor have won the Paul Owens Award for, respectively, the top pitcher and position player in the Phillies' minor league system. Taylor was also named the Top Rookie in the Eastern League. Kudos to both.

Also of note, relief pitcher Michael Schwimer's entry today over at phuturephillies.com. It's about his "amazingly crazy 29 hours" starting last Saturday night when he was called up to Double-A Reading, then won both games of a doubleheader there on Sunday. Again, good stuff.
