The major league team sponsoring the minor league teams picks up the salary of every player on the 40 man roster even though 15 of those players are on AAA-AA-A minor league teams...All others are paid by the minor league team...Also all players on the 40 man roster are under MLB rules for players and their contracts

Minor league baseball's two month total is 13,203,740 fans for the 176 teams in 11 leagues. It is the first time that April-May attendance has ever exceeded 13-million. The total represents a 378,823 (3%) increase over the 2004 season when the full-season leagues attracted 12,824,917 fans by the end of May on their way to a season total of 39,887,755 fans, an all-time record total for the industry.\nPublished 6/05

The Braves will win again.  They seem to pull off miracles with minor league players every year. Look at last year, how many players got called up from Richmond and finished out the season?

one in a million. even if you do get drafted by an organization, the extreme vast majority of those in the minors will never see action in the bigs

Are you a baseball fan... never mind.\nThey actually sit there and count the minutes and seconds each team has the ball. They add it up, and come up with a percentage. It is the most meaningless stat.

If you want to know what a player's stats are, go to \n\nwww.baseball-reference.com \n\nYou'll be able to look up the stats of every player who ever played in the major leagues.\n\nJeter had scored 1,159 runs as of the end of the 2005 season.\n\nYahoo sports will give you the up to date stats of any player this year... Jeter's scored 40 runs so far this year, so that's 1,199 runs scored so far in his career.  That doesn't break any records, it ranks ABOUT 150th or so all time.  Although at that level, many players are pretty tightly bunched together, so scoring 20 or 30  runs can move you up several spaces on the all time list.\n\nSeven players have scored 2,000 or more runs in the major leagues....\n\n1.Rickey Henderson 2,295\n2.Ty Cobb   2,246\n3.Babe Ruth   2,175\n4.Hank Aaron  2,174\n5.Pete Rose  2,165\n6.Barry Bonds  2,078\n7.Willie Mays 2,062\n\nJeter got his 2,000th career hit last week, but that is by no means a record either...it's just one of those 'even/round  numbered' milestones that mean a great deal to ESPN and really no one else.

most of them are minor leaguers who cant make it into the bigs, so they catch the in bullpen

Not counting rooks, the active players with the most at bats and no HR are Curt Schilling, Jon Lieber, Luis Ordaz, Brett Tomko, Pedro Martinez, and Matt Clement.\n\nThere are a ton of rookies and callups who are active with no HR - a little too many to name. \n\nOdd that this was just in a Jayson Stark column....

I would say very few, as baseball uses its farm system for developing players, not colleges (unlike football and basketball).  Of course, even football and basketball pros usually don't have degrees, but I'd say even fewer baseball players do.

not bad, in the minors

There's no easy answer without crunching a bunch of numbers. I can't find anything online that has an easy answer. Since most AL pitchers haven't batted since college or high school, then they don't fair so well. Even in the NL, good hitting pitchers are rare.  Jason Marquis is a good hitter. He hit .310 last year, .292 the year before, but only .179 this year. Mostly, when AL pitchers bat, it's an easy strike out, weak grounder or pop-up. Please take a look at the link below for each team. I don't time to compile all the numbers. Just click on the team name and then you can scan down to the bottom of the batting stats to find the pitchers' batting stats. Don't go down too far, it's not that far down. Have fun.

Edwin Encarnacion of Cincinnati a fielding percentage of .877 for a third baseman.  He has 8 errors already this year in 65 chances.  That is terrible for an infielder.

i'm a beantown boy, so its all about the red sox around here. i wish that the teams had a league determined spending limit for their player salaries. imagine how much better the games would be if the teams were more evenly matched!

Players get to the Ontario Hockey League mainly through drafts, tryouts or scouting from other junior leagues, high schools, and midget and bantam teams. Players in the OHL range from 15-20 years old and the league is considered a "Tier 1, Major Junior A" level. You're right that many players from the OHL make it to the NHL. Wikipedia claims that 20% of the active players in the NHL came from the OHL. I'm not sure how close that is, but it's still a fair amount of players. The thing to keep in mind, however, is that not all of the OHL players who make the NHL are drafted from the OHL. Some may move on to play NCAA college hockey, minor pro, and other leagues before they are drafted. So, that 20% figure could represent players who have played in the OHL, but were not drafted directly from there. Check out the wikipedia page for some good history on the league and, of course, the official OHL page for tons of current info:
