    It seems like the Indians are transfering their star players from the majors back to the minors via trades and signings.

    Why wait until these youngsters reach the majors to showcase them? Dolan could sign WUAB or other interested TV station to a contract to televise the minor league games.

    Perhaps the cost to broadcast a game is higher than the advertiser revenue it would generate. However, the additional benefit of increased fan attendance at the minor league stadiums might negate that issue.

    Right now, I'd almost rather see Buffalo, Akron, or Kinston than Cleveland. Give me Lee, Cabrera, or Cruceta instead of Surfer Boy or The Man Who Would Not Quit. What the **** , it's all baseball.

    I agree with Dr. Robert. At least the minor league teams can showcase the future. Right now, the major league team is just a comedy act.

    Check out Time Magazine, August 12, 2002 issue.

    They have a two page spread on the wildly popular minor leagues!
