I hope that translates well in the future. But, the minor league playoff record...ouch! Following the minor league teams was much less frustrating this year than following the Sox.

IIRC: Mark Buehrle Jon Garland Joe Crede Aaron Rowand Rocky Biddle (had success) Matt Guerrier (having success, also got flipped for Damaso Marte) Jon Rauch (having success as a setup guy) Chad Bradford (has had success) Josh Fogg Light on position players, but a lot of useful MLB pitching talent. Not counting the folks like Kip Wells or Scott Eyre who spent time in the minors during this season after having spent time in the bigs.
September 21, 200916 yr Author QUOTE (Pods70Rowand33 @ Sep 20, 2009 -> 11:28 AM) Who were the other top teams? Other organizations? Yankees and Rockies were the two farm systems ahead of the Sox in wins.

September 26, 200916 yr Author QUOTE (danman31 @ Sep 26, 2009 -> 09:56 AM) This BA link says otherwise. Where did you get your info? A Trib article. Figures. I should have double-checked the sources. Of course there is an infinitesimally small chance that I misread it and was therefore wrong. Either way, I thank you for pointing it out. Edited September 26, 200916 yr by scenario
