> Nonsense, give them AA and A teams.
Totally agree on that.
I'm not a big fan of giving them a variety of 1* player to fill out their minors. Does anyone really want to see that chum get development wasted on them that could go to other players on the Sens and Angels *or* our own players?
Seriously, if I were an expansion team, I *wouldn't* want a bunch of 18-22 year old 1* players down in the minors with literally no hope of amounting to much. They greatly run the risk of taking bumps that you'd prefer go to your players with a hope in hell of amounting to something.
Is it going to be lean for a while? Sure. But there really isn't any benefit to having a minor league system stocked with young *bad* prospects.
