Minor League Baseball Daily Thread for 4/18/19
Being a big fan of John Sickels and Minor League Ball during its run, one of the great items on that page was the daily thread that featured the top performers of the previous day and highlighted top games to watch for the next day. I’m not going to claim to be John or to take his spot by any means, but I’m hoping this can be a spot for folks to get some of what they got from those threads!
We’ll start with top performers from the previous day at each level, and then onto the top games to watch later on:

After 6 years of writing for FanSided on various sites and offering contributions to various other websites, family changes have encouraged me to start this site. I spend a ton of time watching baseball at all levels, but I love watching minor league baseball on milb.tv as I'm hours away from the closest minor league team. This is an effort of all those games I enjoy on a daily basis!
