In unusual fashion, minor league baseball kicked off last night with AAA games. The games for the other full-season leagues will start on April 8th. This preview is late because the Memphis club waited until a few hours before the opening game to announce the opening day roster. I’ll start off with a brief introduction to the league structure and schedule, remind you of the new rule changes, and then discuss the players.
STRUCTURE OF LEAGUE AND SCHEDULE
I highly recommend that you take a glance at my preview of the Memphis club I wrote last year here, as well as this piece which explained the restructuring of minor league baseball, as well as the shuffling of the Cardinal affiliates.
