Are winning minor league teams an indicator of future success by the major league team?
The Rangers should hope not. If minor league records affect major league performance, the Rangers are in for several more lean years in the American League West.
The mavens at Baseball America compiled the winning percentages for each organization's domestic affiliations this season. Tampa Bay topped the list at .591.
The second club should send a chill through the Rangers' organization: reigning World Series champion Houston at .576.
The Astros have won the West with 100 wins for a second consecutive season.
