Here is a list of players who played for the minor leagues in 2013 and had success in the majors in 2013. This list was derived by culling the rosters of AAA, AA, and A+ minor leagues and comparing them with the WAA results of 2013. Unlike pitchers only 5 players made it in MLB with a WAA >~ 1. This will improve when we cull names from the 2012 minor league rosters to see who is making it in the majors.
Update: There was a bug in my script that truncated batters to only 5. I caught it because Will Middlebrooks played significant time in AAA and was missing from this list. There are now 6.
