Wow, and that's all I can say. I had heard that another new team might come into the league next year. Good news for the league.

This is a dumb idea. Nashville already has a Triple-A team.

The NECBL has a similar situation with the Lowell All-Americans in the same town as the Lowell Spinners (Short Season-A NYPL). This greatly takes away from attendance and media coverage. I've seen some leagues have moderate success in entering MLB markets, in cities that are big enough to support a second team (the NECBL's North Shore Navigators are right next door to Boston), but I don't like the idea of competing in a smaller MiLB market. Good to see the league's committed to expansion though, and I hope this experiment works out.

I hope it works. I've heard nothing but good stuff about the league. I just don't understand why they have added so many new teams this season? What does this mean for the Great Lakes League, since they are in proximity to all these teams?

C'mon guys, give this team a chance. Summer college baseball isn't "all" about media coverage. Maybe this is good because this new team can get the word out at the AAA home games so fans catch some quality baseball while the big team is out of town. Also, I'm sure their games are more affordable as well. Give this team a chance. I'm sure the people running this new organization are working hard at it.

I was not "coming down" on the team or league at all. I hope they do succeed.

Andrew, I wasn't commenting on what you said. There are others who are either doubting they're going to make it or just think it's a dumb idea. I just think they deserve a chance to try and succeed.
