On Saturday night, the Myrtle Beach Pelicans clinched a playoff spot by winning the Southern Division of the Carolina League. They are the only Cubs’ affiliate to clinch a playoff berth this season. Tennessee, on the other hand, finished second in their division in the Southern League while South Bend finished last in their division in the Midwest League.

While winning is a nice byproduct of play in the minor leagues, it is not the most important aspect of the organization – player development is.
