Future NL Central rivals face off in the minor league baseball feature series this week in the Southern League.

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!

This week’s featured series will be our first ‘high minors” series, featuring two NL Central affiliates in the AA Southern League.

This week’s minor league baseball feature series focuses on the Biloxi Shuckers, the Milwaukee Brewers AA affiliate, and the Cincinnati Reds’ AA affiliate, the Pensacola Blue Wahoos.

Let’s take a look at each squad…
