Inclement weather throughout much of the country in early to mid-April played havoc with the early portion of the 2007 minor league season, but two teams most affected have posted the best records in the minors. Through Wednesday’s games, the Double-A Eastern League’s Trenton Thunder and the low Class A Dayton Dragons were 13-2, which equates to an .867 winning percentage. Trenton has had five postponements to date, and Dayton four.
