[Editor Note: We’re pleased to introduce Warren Leeman, known in these parts as Shchi Cossack, as our new weekly minor league correspondent. He’ll take over the Thursday morning affiliates column for long-time contributor Tom Diesman. Tom has taken on a new time-consuming enterprise, so is unable to write every week, but he hopes to contribute his thoughts about the Reds on occasion. We salute Tom’s long and wonderful service to Redleg Nation. His devotion to writing about the Reds affiliates was a labor of love that was greatly appreciated by our readers. At the same time, we hope you’ll welcome Warren, and we look forward to his writing from the Old Recliner.
