new Beavers PCL article

I recall that you have done a lot of work on the Portland Beavers article over the years. Someone moved the article to Tucson Padres, now that the current incarnation of the team is moving there. I made a comment on the Talk:Tucson Padres article that I thought that old PCL Beavers didn't really belong in this new article and that we should move a lot of the old stuff, say pre-2000, out of the article. The PCL Beavers, and in fact, the 1990s AAA franchise as well, don't really have anything to do with the Tucson team. I think we should should move all that out. Anyway, thought you might want to weigh in on that talk page if you had some thoughts. --Esprqii (talk) 21:16, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
