Well, clearly some truth to that, but I wouldn't go that far. Tough to win a title without at least some promising talent. May indicate, though, that talent is under-rated, especially where title teams don't seem loaded with touted prospects. Overall, though, thanks for a great job on DotF. IMO, definitely what makes RAB a go-to site. “Minor league titles don’t tell you anything about what kind of prospects a team has..”

The "A" Ball titles are very different, seeing possible future YANKEES getting their feet wet, and getting used to winning. Besides, I would rather see the farm systems win then see anemic play,, with poor future prospects (Such as the Binghampton Mets (A prime reason why Tony Bernazzard, blew his stack, and got himself fired)).

It seems like just a week ago when the minor league season was beginning, and Down on the Farm commenced for another go-around.
