Trenton’s regular season is over. They finished third in Eastern League Northern Division with a 69-72 record. As you know, yesterday’s loss eliminated them from postseason play. Mike Ashmore has word of the corresponding roster moves, as several players were shuffled around to help out the other affiliates in the postseason.

High-A Tampa‘s regular season is over. They finished with a 77-56 overall record, second in the Florida State League North Division. Their first round matchup against Brevard County starts tomorrow, today was just an off day. I don’t know this for sure, but it looks like David Phelps and DJ Mitchell line up to get the ball in games one and two of the best-of-three series.

Charleston’s regular season is over. They finished with a 74-65 overall record, second in the South Atlantic League Southern Division. They did not qualify for the postseason.

Short Season Staten Island‘s regular season is over. They finished 47-29, and won the NY-Penn League McNamara Division. Their first round matchup against Lowell starts tomorrow, today was just a day off. Robert Pimpsner’s playoff preview says Adam Warren will get the ball in game one of the best-of-three series, and will be followed by Sean Black and Caleb Cotham. There’s a chance they may face a rehabbing Dice-K at some point during the season.

The Rookie GCL Yanks season is over after they lost to the GCL Marlins in Round One of the playoffs. The GCL Nats won the league championship.
