Reno, Nevada (GUGUGOOHG) - The highest honor in the Yount League is the Organization of the Year. As evidenced in the private league rules, we want owners with a comprehensive organization, which is why the minor league has a minimum win rate. The season 52 organization of the year is once again the Baltimore Orioles and owner vanrip77 for the second consecutive year and the third time in the past four years. The Orioles dominated, making the playoffs at every level except for rookie and making it to the World Series in AAA, High A, and Low A, which put them over the top.
We here at Get Up Get Up Get Outta Here Gone think the Owner of the Year maintains a stable farm system, and the Big League club should be able to make a postseason run. The lower-level squads should be hunting to capture a minor league World Series Championship. The Get Up Get Up Get Outta Here Gone Owner of the Year Award winner should field competitive teams at every level.
The Owner will receive the Get Up Get Up Get Outta Here Gone Owner of the Year Award with the most points.
Four franchises didn't make the playoffs at any level, down one from last year's total.
The most significant organizational jump was by the Arizona Diamondbacks, who needed to do well to get off probation, jumping from 27th to 11th. The Diamondbacks have a lot of minor league talent that is a few years away from translating on the Major League level. The only team to make the playoffs at every level was the Astros. The most significant drop was by the San Diego Padres, who slipped to 23rd.
