I wouldn't agree...minor league teams appeal to gimmicks at all costs and have distorted stats because the balance of the game is meant for big-leaguers.

I guess I should amend that to mention that market size matters...the Reds, Mets, and Tigers are kind of AAA-ish.
I guess how I should have phrased this was for a family that wants to bring their kids to a ball game to experience the atmosphere it could be a good, more affordable way.

You make a valid point, but if I lived near, for example, Somerset. I would make it a point to watch one of the Yankees' promising prospects.

If you want to watch the Yankees' prospects, watch the Reds or Twins.
I agree. I remember going to a AA game as a kid and it stuck with me a long time as a great experience.
