TBGKon Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Where did the Beavers (AAA) go? im assuming that since he gave Portland a Major League team, that the Beavers were disbanded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMMF Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Where did the Beavers (AAA) go? im assuming that since he gave Portland a Major League team, that the Beavers were disbanded I figured but then who is San Diego's new farm team? Or am I just not reading the list close enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC97 Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 I would've thrown Montreal a bone and given them a IL team.Nevermind, I see they're back in the NL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Class AAAInternational League Central = Hartford, Pawtucket, Providence, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Pawtucket AND Providence? They border each other. McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket is less than 5 miles from downtown Providence and the Dunkin' Donuts Center.I'd put a team in Worcester, not Providence. Not with Pawtucket right there. You may as well put two competing teams in the same city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ez Street Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Great Plains League Southern Division = Dodge City, Emporia, Kansas City, Lawrence, Manhattan I know for a Fact that Emporia, Manhattan, and Lawrence have had Minor League teams at one time.Topeka in the Texas League.......Well I emailed them about that chance, and they said that would be next to impossible due to Franchise costs and Affiliates.It's a nice thought though.

CMUBrent Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Bay City, Michigan has been rumored to be joining the Midwest League in a few years once a new stadium is built. I haven't heard anything new about that recently though, so I'm not sure if that plan fell through or what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 International League Central = Pawtucket, ProvidenceYou do realize that the cities of Pawtucket, Rhode Island and Providence, Rhode Island are contiguous, right? That the Pawtucket Red Sox are considered Providence's team? Hell... the PawSox are considered the Triple-A home team for pretty much all of Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts.Bottom line? This specific expansion idea would never fly for a variety of reasons... including the fact that an affiliated minor-league team (at any level) in Providence (or Worcester, for that matter) would violate Pawtucket's territorial claims. Further, a team in Hartford, CT would infringe on the territory of the New Britain Rock Cats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
