1. The New Orleans Baby Cakes - the Triple-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins.

2. The Asheville Tourists - a farm team of the Colorado Rockies.

3. The El Paso Chihuahuas - the Triple-A affiliate for the San Diego Padres.

4. The Lansing Lugnuts - a farm team of the Toronto Blue Jays.

5. The Montgomery Biscuits - the Double-A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays.

6. The Binghamton Rumble Ponies - the Double-A affiliate of the NY Mets.
