The split minor league seasons lead to quite interesting case studies. The Charlotte Stone Crabs had the best record in the Florida State League in the first half of the season, going 43-25 to win the Southern Division and clinch a playoff berth. They were going to be in the postseason no matter what, but it still was quite discouraging when they slipped from first place in the FSL South to last in the second half of the season, managing just a 24-41 record. Could a team that had played so poorly in the second half possibly win a postseason series?
