League Offensive Levels for Padres Affiliates, 2007
Wednesday, December 5, 2007by Geoff Young
Yesterday we were talking about Rookie-league numbers and reader Didi asked about something I hinted at but didn't delve into as much as I might have. I wasn't being coy, so much as I was being... disorganized.

Cedric Hunter hit .282/.344/.373 in the Midwest League, which seems really low until you consider how much his league suppressed offense in 2007.
Didi then asked:
Is it possible to describe the league (as you mentioned the number of games played and league average numbers) to add a bit more detail?
Yes, it is absolutely possible. It also is absolutely necessary:
