In the minors, the won-loss record really doesn't mean anything. The most important thing to do in the minors is to develop the talent. As long as the Indians develop their players, the won-loss record at any level is really irrelevant.

True Josh but if you follow that team and live in the area you really want to see a winner.....Minor leagues have their passionate fans as wel.....

James, I know that feeling as well as anybody. I live in the town of the Pirates AA affiliate, and two out of the three years they've been here they've sucked. Last year there was a pennant race right down to the last day. This year, attendance is at its highest, and I really don't think it's a coincidence the attendance is higher and two of the Pirates top 5 prospects have been here ( JJ Davis and JR House). When I go to games, I go to watch the stars of tomorrow, not necessarily to see the teams win. Don't get me wrong, a winning team with good development is a big plus, but developing the players is more important, not to win games.
