Right-hander Angel Guzman, who likely will be in the Jaxx's starting rotation this year, was awarded to the first Billy Williams-Ron Santo Rookie of Spring Training Award.

Guzman had a nearly 1.20 ERA while in big-league camp as a non-roster invitee. He was signed by the Cubs in 1999 out of Venezuela and was 11-4 with a 2.19 ERA at the Cubs' two Single-A teams last year.

"He's really opened a lot of eyes in the baseball world," Cubs farm director Oneri Fleita said.
