Talk:St. Louis Cardinals Minor League Affiliates
Any opinions on whether this type of page should be made for all MLB clubs? --MichaelEng 22:03, 4 May 2006 (EDT)
I like it and think it'd be a nice addition. The category could be St. Louis Cardinals or Minor Leagues, though, to avoid a new category. - --Mischa 22:04, 4 May 2006 (EDT)
If it can be done for the Cardinals, the others should be a breeze --Just me 22:07, 4 May 2006 (EDT)
I agree with the idea of using existing categories rather than creating a new one, though there's no reason that it couldn't be in both [[Category:St. Louis Cardinals]] and [[Category:Minor Leagues]]. If we ever start creating season-by-season pages for minor league teams the same way that there are season-by-season pages for the majors, we could start thinking about having a [[Category:Minor League Affiliates]] with subcategories of [[Category:Team Name Affiliates]]. That's obviously a distant future idea, though. --Roger 22:13, 4 May 2006 (EDT)
Separate season-by-season minor league pages is a LONG-range plan IMO. It would help with huge pages like Baltimore Orioles (IL) or a complete Mexico City Red Devils or Indianapolis Indians for instance. I'd wait till we have pages for each team before we do season-by-season team pages. Also, as a precursor to 1976 Red Devils, I think a good first step would be 1942 IL, 1976 LMB, 1988 Central League, 1994 Midwest League, 1951 III League pages, etc. We could list team standings, All-Star teams, awards, league leaders, future major-leaguers and prominent notes about the season. I don't think we should do this until we have pages for many more of the teams, though. Maybe in 6-12 months - it's not like we'll develop the bullpen into a complete baseball history overnight. - --Mischa 09:40, 5 May 2006 (EDT)
Finished with the pages. Although, the pages after the Yankees need to be reordered (AAA before A-Adv, etc.), redirects added, and typos/multi-city teams checked. Also there are no co-op teams included. --MichaelEng 14:44, 5 May 2006 (EDT)
So, how long will it be before debates over what team was an affiliate and what wasn't ??--Just me 15:30, 5 May 2006 (EDT)
Also, there's the whole question about affiliations of minor league teams, when AAA and AA teams used to have their own farm feeders. Such a set-up existed until the late 1970s in Mexico IIRC. - --Mischa 16:29, 5 May 2006 (EDT)
I'd also like to include rookie-league teams. - --Mischa 16:42, 5 May 2006 (EDT)
One other question: should the annual links be to the year page for that season or to the year page for the major league team? --Roger 16:44, 5 May 2006 (EDT)
