Astros' Kyle Tucker: Named org's player of year

Tucker was named the Minor League Player of the Year for the Astros organization, Reid Laymance of the Houston Chronicle reports.

It's the second straight year that Tucker's earned the award. He hit .332/.400/.590 with 24 home runs at Triple-A Fresno. His introduction to MLB this season wasn't as smooth, but he'll get a chance to earn a starting outfield spot next spring.
