TB has been added to the WATN Page (http://dee-nee.com/rbi/wherearetheynow.shtml), along with Larry Herndon.  He got a mention at the end of the article...

What exactly does "Class A Oneonta of the short-season New York-Penn League." mean?  Since the former manager of this team was promoted to the A club, this is some sort of sub-A minor league?  I used "low-A" from another entry, but don't really know what that means...

They have "short seasons" for the players that are new to professional ball...to help 'em adjust from HS/college season lengths to professional schedules.

Is "low-A" a proper designation for this?  The page mentioned it was A

Each organization has one Triple A, one Double A and several A teams.  They differentiate between High A and Low A.  e.g. Mets High A is St. Lucie and Low A is Capital City.

So Low A is like Quadruple A.

So if a team has 3 A teams for example, do they still fall into the High A and Low A categories?

I think each organization only has one high a and several low a, but i am not sure.

Works for me, this club definitely wasn't the high-A team.  Thanks for the info...
