What is being a club's minor league player of the year worth?

Someone told me that Jordan Luplow is a good prospect and used that he was the Pirates' minor league player of the year in 2017.   So I thought I would take a look at some of the Indians' minor league players of the year.   I decided to look at 2010-2015 as this would give me a chance to see how guys developed.

So here goes:

Indians minor league pitcher of the year:

• 2010     Alex White
• 2011     Chen-Chang Lee
• 2012     Cody Allen
• 2013     Cody Anderson
• 2014     Ryan Merritt
• 2015     Mike Clevinger

Indians minor league position player of the year:

• 2010     Jason Kipnis
• 2011     Jason Kipnis
• 2012     Tim Fedroff
• 2013     Joe Wendle
• 2014     Giovanny Urshela
• 2015     Bobby Bradley

The guys in bold I would suggest have had successful careers.   The guys not in bold, well, not so much.  So what does this tell us?

At best it says guys who get this award who come up and have instant success have a chance for a successful ML career.    Guys who don't have instant success become 4A players.

Luplow, well, not so much in his two years, right?   Hey, not saying that he is totally without potential but we were certainly the only team taking a gamble in that trade with the Pirates...and Rays...and now the Padres.
