High A/Low A minor leagues?

elgringo79 · 01-26-2010, 03:45 PM

Hi,

Most organizations have two A-level minor league teams.

For purposes of player development, I would like to know if there is a difference between the two. Is one High A(A+) and one Low A(A-) (like real world?)

Also, for purposes of evaluating performance, are some leagues more hitter friendly or pitcher friendly than others? (Related question: do minor league teams have park factors of which I should be aware?)

THANKS!!!

OOTP does not differentiate between the real-world 'High-A' and 'Low-A' minor league classifications; instead, it lumps them together as just simply 'A.' Consequently, it treats the two affiliates as identical and interchangeable for developmental purposes.
