As said, the NWL gets higher draft picks and more experienced players in general. I don't have any data handy on how each league plays against one another, as studies on short-season leagues aren't common, but I believe that the NWL is a slight hitter's league.

Rookie league then short season then A then advanced-A, then AA, then AAA. Rookie leagues seem to have developed two tiers, so you've got the AZL/GCL that's really really rookie league, and then the Appy league or Pioneer league that's a small step up from that - many of the players mentioned in Jay's piece played in the AZL last year. bg,

And is one considered more of a pitcher friendly league and the other more hitter friendly? In other words, I'm trying to gert a handle on what player assignments might mean as between Everett and Pulaski.

Anyone remember the Peninsula Pilots? (early 1990's) Living in Virginia, I’m glad to have a Mariners affiliate in the atate again, even though it’s 6 hours southwest of my city.

You were the one translating his blog entries weren't you? The new FO has proven a great deal more conservative with their promotions, so I wouldn't bet on it. The Pulaski M's are facing the Danville Braves right now. After the M's released Austin Bibens-Dirkx, it looks like the Braves snuck up on us in the hyphenation race. They're sending out Riaan Spanjer-Furstenburg (from South Africa, no less) and Daniel Elorriaga-Matra. You might know better than I do. You were the one translating his blog entries weren’t you?
