Meh. From my experience, the affilliation of a minor league team isnt super important, or even well known. The exceptions being affiliates that share a name or proximity with their major league team. Outside of the diehards, who in Durham knows that the Bulls are an Arizona afilliate? Plus fuck the Cardinals.
I disagree. Minor league affiliations can matter a lot if parent clubs invest in that affiliate, maintain a long relationship, and work on their "brand" over time.
