Award for Votto (as opposed to reward)

From Louisville:

IL AWARDS: IF/OF Joey Votto was today selected as the International League’s Rookie of the Year for 2007. Votto’s 90 RBI are 2nd in the IL only to MVP Mike Hessman (97), and are approaching his career high of 92 set in 2004 between Class-A Dayton and Potomac. He’s already matched his career best 22 homers of a year ago. Votto becomes the third Louisville player in franchise history to win a Rookie-of-the-Year Award, joining Lance Johnson (1987) and Todd Zeile (1989). Along with Rookie of the Year, Votto was selected as the first baseman for the IL post-season All-Star Team. IF Aaron Herr was selected as the International League’s top utility player for 2007. The 26-year-old Herr received votes at both second and third base, where he’s split time this year for the Bats. Herr has driven in a career-best 82 runs, trailing only Mike Hessman and Joey Votto for the highest total in the League. Louisville is one of only three teams (Rochester & Toledo) with multiple players on the post-season team. It is the first time since 2002 that Louisville has multiple players on the post-season team (Raul Gonzalez & Kevin Witt).

Dave Miley was manager of the year.
