2019 Affiliate Record Tracker by Organization

[MadThinker88]

Hello everyone and welcome to the 2019 Affiliate Record Tracker by Organization. Over the past few years I have started and updated a discussion thread with this info & will try again this year. Again, I will only report on FULL SEASON minor league teams (A thru AAA). That way there is a consistent measurement of 4 affiliates for each organization.

While winning is secondary to developing players in the minors, winning is important in its own right as it develops a culture of success, helps to focus players and hopefully produce post-season appearances in the minors (which results in more learning opportunities & development of the players).

For this report I will list all 30 teams. In the future I will narrow the reporting (top 10, bottom 5, noting teams of the division if not already listed). Updates with be bi-weekly for little while before switching to weekly sometime in June thru the end of the season.

 

Here is the 1st report (with games ending 4/20/19). Enjoy

From a Tweet this morning courtesy of MLB’s Daren Willman (Director of Research & Development), breaking down MILB win % by organization:

 

[MadThinker88]

Thanks EyeBlack. It would be interesting to know when that info was pulled. The numbers I pulled for the update this morning (5/5) for results thru 5/4 are close but not a match.

 

Then again Brewer affiliates went a combined 0-7 for completed games on Friday and Saturday. That does make an impact on win percentage.

Late 6/9/19 Update -

 

Since Boston is so far under .500, I did a little digging and compared it to when teams fell for the 1st time 50 games under .500 over the last few years.

This is what I found:

 

2019: Boston at -54 with report on 6/8/19

2018: Boston & ChiCubs at -51 with report on 8/4/18.

2017: San Fran at -55 with report on 6/3/17

2016: KC Royals at -54 with report on 6/17/17

[Eye Black]

This is anecdotal, but the fact that the Brewers drafted a lot of college performers would lead me to believe they will have some mature rookie ball teams that will win more than their share of games as well. I know you don’t include rookie ball teams in this record tracker (and understandably so), but I am predicting the winning carries over the the lowest levels this summer.

Tampa Bay is extending its lead, now a whopping 73 games over .500. I have to tip the cap to them. This is an incredible performance. I took a look back at the records at the same time last year & Tampa was 56 games over .500 but was still trailing Houston (66 games over). This year the next closest team is currently Milwaukee (+43)..

 

As for the other end St. Louis is at -57 and dropping fast. 3 teams (Boston, Detroit, LA Angels) are all at -50/ -51.

This is very interesting to me. So Baseball American and others all rank the Brewers system as one of the worst in the game, yet they are near the top in win% consistently year after year. What do you fell drives this? Not enough top end talent to be considered a "good" system? Good minor league coaching? It just does not seem that the perception matches the results.

The last championship Timber Rattlers team went 78-61 in 2012.

 

As the roster will show, the players who saw the bulk of time on the field did not equate to big league success.

 

This happens all the time, not just in the Brewers' system. A team, often older vs. the rest of the league as this Wisconsin squad was, will often have success.

 

Other instances, truly top prospects aren't surrounded by enough talent to equate to wins on the field.

 

It's always more fun to review wins in each Daily Link Report, but in the big picture, wins mean little -- wins keep the local fans at the game that night happy, help the local affiliate front offices feeling better, but they don't even always equate to happy players.

I treat the minors like I do preseason football games. If they win, that's encouraging but not a big deal if they don't. That being said, I appreciate all the hard work tabulating this.
