TBGKon Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I figured I'd create a thread to name my minor league affiliates for the Tampa Bay Sandtigers Minor League Baseball Club in the American Association (a fantasy baseball league hosted here on the CCSLC). The cities are as follows:AAA - Orlando, FLAA - Wilmington, NC (team will use the location of Cape Fear)A(Adv) - Clearwater, FLA - Mt. Clemens, MI (team will use the location of Motor City)Short A - City and Nickname up for considerationRookie - Tallahassee, FLI will post my ideas for the teams, and will add them to the list of names that are submitted. Once enough names are submitted for a team, I will post a poll. Thanks all!Edit: You may come up with a city in the NY-Penn League region for this team. The NY-Penn League has teams in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Vermont, Maryland, Massachusetts (basically anywhere Pennsylvania and north) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 AA: Cape Fear DestroyersA (Adv): Clearwater Canes (as in a shortened name for Hurricanes)A: Motor City MachineRookie: Tallahassee Sandtigers (all Gulf Coast League teams are named for the parent club) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB61 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Camden, eh? If I didn't like you, I'd get pissed off (for putting a team right next to my market). But now I'm just amused. Orlando SunHawksCape Fear ClippersMotor City MustangsCamden Express (for the PATCO trains -- and it's okay to just classify the team as Camden.)

TBGKon Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 Well, Camden can be changed to another city in the NY-Penn League area. I was contemplating Atlantic City, but any other city is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDR Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 since many of your teams are based in FL, for short A I say tampa bay and for the nickname you can adopt the apparently lame duck part of the D'Rays name: The Tampa Bay Devils. and the logo could be a block T with horns and the stem can be a tail. I'll draw it up for ya sometime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
