Minor League Baseball Weekly Feature Series Preview: Rancho Cucamonga vs. Lake Elsinore

Two National League West rivals have loaded their California League teams, leading to an excellent minor league baseball rivalry.

Our MLB coverage at Call to the Pen is fairly well-balanced, but in an effort to give you better breadth and depth of coverage of minor league baseball, we will begin a number of weekly posts.

The first will examine the big news items along with the top performers in the minor leagues each Monday. Tuesday will bring a review of the weekend highlight series. Wednesday will bring draft news and college baseball news until that is complete. Thursday will preview the weekend series of note in minor league baseball to watch. Friday will feature a new series, “The Video Room”, where CTTP contributor Benjamin Chase will examine one game from the week from a scouting perspective and break down the game.

Scouting reports will be scattered throughout the week and weekends, so keep on the lookout for those as well. As always, if there is anything you would like to see covered more thoroughly here at CTTP, let us know in the comments section below!

Let’s get started with our first preview after doing the Florida vs. Daytona series as the highlight series over opening weekend. This weekend we will take a closer look at the high-A clubs from the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres organizations
