McCurry O’s Minor League Pitcher of Month?

With September looming, I’m starting a campaign for Cole McCurry to be named the Orioles August Minor League Pitcher of the Month.  He was outstanding.  His final numbers during the month (his next start will be Sept. 1): 2-0, 0.31 ERA, 29.1 innings pitched, 1 ER, 33 K’s.  Those numbers are out of this world.

Here are the other potential candidates around the system, you decide:

GCL ORIOLES

Daurin Tavarez – 3-1, 0.92 ERA, 29.1 IP, 21 K’s

BLUEFIELD

Ryan Plasha – 2-0, 2.60 ERA, 17.0 IP, 27 K’s, 4 BB

Justin Anderson – 1-1, 1.32 ERA, 13.2 IP, 13 K’s

ABERDEEN

Nicholas Haughian – 3-1, 1.65 ERA, 32.2 IP, 18 K’s

DELMARVA

Shane Mathews - 1-0, 1.86 ERA, 19.1 IP, 13 K’s

Cole McCurry – 2-0, 0.31 ERA, 29.1 IP, ER, 33 K’s

FREDERICK

Brandon Cooney – 0-2, 0.82 ERA, 6 Saves

Zach Britton - 2-2, 2.61 ERA, 31.0 IP, 31 K’s

BOWIE

Brandon Erbe – 2-0, 2.39 ERA, 26.1 IP, 14 Hits

Luis Lebron – 0-0, 0.00 ERA, 10 G, 12.1 IP, 17 K’s

NORFOLK

Jake Arrieta - 2-3, 3.03 ERA, 35.2 IP, 27 K’s

To me its a no-brainer.  But, maybe I’m a little bit bias.  The numbers don’t lie though.  We’ll see in about a week from now.
