In what is hopefully a good omen for the big club, our AAA affiliate Durham just won the Governors' Cup after beating Memphis in the International League finals. And look how they did it:
Yes that's right - they lost the first three games of the series and stormed back to win the next four. Of course that's only happened once in MLB and I have no idea if it's been done before in the IL, AAA, or elsewhere in the minors.
Casey Schmitt, the series MVP, is projected to be our 3B next year when Alex Bregman goes free agent, and Taj Bradley, who won Game 5, should be in our rotation especially after the Shane Baz injury. Ian Seymour, who was impressive in a brief stint with the big club earlier this year, and JJ Goss, both of whom won games in this series, may figure into next year's staff as well.
