BA has posted its minor league all-star team. JVB made the team as the top relief pitcher. Here is what they had to say.

 

Relief Pitcher: Jamie Van Buren, Cubs

 

It’s been a long time coming for Van Buren, a second-round pick in 1998 out of a Mississippi high school. He never made it out of A-ball with the Rockies, his original organization, and the Cubs signed him prior to 2004 after he spent a year in the independent Central League. They moved him to the bullpen, and his rise has been rapid, culminating in a September callup this year. He picked up 46 saves the last two seasons and held Pacific Coast League hitters to a .181 average as the minors’ top closer in 2005.

 

Ricky Nolasco was selected as a starting pitcher on the second team.

It's pretty disappointing we didn't have anyone from High-A picked...we had alot of talent in the low As that could have really boosted their system if they had another good year (i.e. Dopirak)
