It is that time of year again, where MLB and Triple-A start their respective seasons while the rest of MiLB gets one more week until they start play. Last season was atrocious, on and off the field, for the Charlotte Knights. Wes Helms was put on leave and eventually fired. This was most likely because he was named in a lawsuit against Omar Vizquel, from a former batboy of the Birmingham Barons.
After that, they were just an awful team on the field, going 58-92. They were the worst team in the International League, by 6 1⁄3 games.
