One would likely forgive most Marlins fans for having one eye on the minor leagues this season, given the low expectations for the Fish in 2018. Several highly regarded prospects will be opening their seasons down on the farm, after all.
This season, every week I will give a weekly brief recap of each level of the week’s action for each Marlins farm affiliate, focusing on the top prospects (per MLB Pipeline) and whoever else may be making an impact or turning heads.
Triple-A: New Orleans Baby Cakes
Record last week: 1-6
Season record: 4-7
Notables:
It’s been a rough week for the Cakes, and a six game losing streak has put a damper to their excellent start.
