TBGKon Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 The only way New Hampshire becomes AAA is if a current Intl League teams is sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aci Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I think the Blue Jays would love to get their triple-A team out of Las Vegas if they could. Between the long travel for call-ups and send-downs, and the insane park factors making it impossible to judge talent, it's just a bad fit for the team... if they're anyone's affiliate, it should be a western team, though the park factor will still be there. But it's hardly the only PCL team with that issue... Hamilton Eagles- 2012 and 2013 Continental Hockey League Champions! 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 & 2015 CHL East Division Champions!

Oh & don't forget the Carolina Mudcats moving to Pensacola, FL in the Southern League & Kinston,NC moving to Zebulon, NC in the Carolina League.

pmoehrin Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 The only thing I could see New Hampshire getting a AAA would be obviously if A. an International League team steps down, but all of them are pretty well established so I don't know how that's going to work out.Scenario two would be Vegas or another team in the PCL dropping their AAA team altogether and Nashville or another PCL team moving over to the International League. I think that or something similar is actually more likely to happen. It just makes sense for their to be 16 teams in the International League and 14 in the Pacific Coast League the way Major League Baseball is geographically aligned with their franchises and eventually I think that's what's going to happen.

Gothamite Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 There was also the rumor of the Mets AA affiliate moving to Long Island before the Atlantic League bought the rights what rights? The Atlantic League is an in affiliated independent outfit. They have no veto power over Organized Baseball, unless you mean they bought an exclusive lease on the only available ballpark.

Gothamite Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 You mean the Long Island Ducks?I'd be really surprised if they can make enough to out-bid an affiliated team. When's the lease up?

rvrdgsfn Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Not so much the Ducks, kind of a close rival so to speak, but I doubt it will happen, in order for it to happen, the voters had to agree to it & we all know where that went to.It's official: the independent Atlantic League has landed the rights to manage and place a team at a new Long Island ballpark as part of a Nassau County Coliseum development, a project expected to cost $50 million if approved by voters in August,http://www.ballparkdigest.com/201107113986/at-the-ballpark/future-ballparks/atlantic-league-lands-long-island-ballpark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmoehrin Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I'd be more surprised if the Yankees allowed any move west of the Hamptons to happen. I'm sure the Mets would love to move their AAA team to Long Island, but the Yankees would throw a fit if they ever seriously tried.The only way I think it would work out is if the Mets allowed the Yankees to move their AAA team into the area as well, which I think may eventually wind up happening. This whole tit for tat thing both teams have going on I feel is really dumb. Just make the Cyclones the Mets AAA team and have the Yankees move into Newark or build their own ballpark and be done with it. (Not sure if you could expand the ballpark in Staten Island up to AAA standards, but certainly would be an option if you could.)Instead the Yankees are probably going to stay with their team in Scranton and the Mets are going to continue to wander the Minor League landscape once their deal with Buffalo is up because no minor league city wants to take a Mets minor league team as long as the team is run by the Wilpons. The Mets could very well have the worst combined affiliate record at the minor league level of any major league team this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
