I'll try to fix alot of the bad links here, but much of this information belongs on the Toledo, OH page, as it relates to that section, not to the Mud Hens specifically. I'll try to correct that too. For future reference, please put information on the correct page. - --Mischa 10:25, 26 January 2007 (EST)

Nice to here you're in Pittsburgh. I'm mildly optimistic about the Bucs. I think the offense is capable of being at least average - Bay and Sanchez should be above-average for their positions and Paulino and LaRoche have the potential, while Bautista/Castillo and Duffy might as well. The only definite hole in the lineup is Jack Wilson. The pitching is the question. I am highly doubtful of Chacon and Duke, Maholm, Gorzelanny and Snell each could go either way IMO. No real prospects ready to step into the rotation or lineup in case of injury, unless Bixler or McCutcheon is ready this year - --Mischa 18:56, 27 January 2007 (EST)

Good additions on Bosse and Ned Skeldon. We could use more info on minor league parks. --Jeff 16:13, 27 February 2007 (EST)

As for team logos, I am not sure as I've never uploaded any of them. Ask User: Just me - he's done that I believe. - --Mischa 12:01, 12 March 2007 (EDT)

On the team logos, if it is a small file and it is used to illustrate the team, it should qualify as fair use. When you upload, you should define the logo (i.e. "Richmond Braves Logo") and tag it with {{Logo}} as in Image:RichmondBraves.jpg. --Jeff 21:14, 12 March 2007 (EDT)

One minor pointer - bold text is usually only used for the first time the page's subject is mentioned. Sometimes it is used for alternate or prior names, again only the first time those are mentioned. You don't need to make each mention of the team name in bold print. Great job getting pages up for the summer college baseball teams. - --Mischa 12:08, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

Don't forget to tag your team logo uploads with {{Logo}} thanx --Jeff 00:19, 27 March 2007 (EDT)

Just two of these: {{ then "Logo" then two of these: }}

I'd argue against the usage of "elite" and "most elite" when discussing the quality of play in summer collegiate baseball leagues. If you look at the type of players on the average summer college baseball team, you're not talking about guys who dominate in NCAA Division I or are high draft picks, though those players do appear on occasion. The average summer collegiate baseball player is below Rookie league by a good distance. - --Mischa 21:08, 12 April 2007 (EDT)

The proper spelling is "inaugural". - --Mischa 14:16, 14 January 2008 (EST)
