Continuing FantasyJuice's effort to flood your brain with statistics before the start of the 2009 fantasy baseball season, we have gathered the minor league pitching leaders from 2008.

Below is a compiled list of the top 10 players at each 5x5 pitching stat in the minor leagues last season. A player must have had a least 100 innings pitched to qualify for ERA and WHIP.

Madison Bumgarner is an obvious standout while leading all starting pitchers by making the top 10 in all four SP stats. He is an impressive youngster and hasn't yet reached his 20th birthday.

Tommy Hanson and Michael Bowden both appear and are expected to make it into the major leagues this season. Hanson won the Arizona Fall League MVP during the offseason while Bowden pitched well in his short stint in the bigs at the end of last season.
