That's horrible. For a player to make the Marlins, he has to get through the AA Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp and now the AAA Baby Cakes. Hope the Marlins have a therapist on hand.

"Zephyrs" was bad.
"Baby Cakes" is way worse.

RE: AAA New Orleans Zephyrs change name
That AAA franchise was actually the Denver Zephyrs that had to relocate when Denver got the MLB Rockies in the early 90's. A Zephyr is a warm, western wind. Zephyr winds can actually, and frequently do, warm Denver drastically over the course of a couple of hours hence the name Denver Zephyrs. Not sure why New Orleans kept it all these years. They should have gone with Pelicans as they have a long history with that name much like we do Chicks.
Baby Cakes is insultingly and embarrassingly stupid. Hopefully when they play up here our AutoZone Park pa guy will simply refer to them as New Orleans.
