re: Should there be Minor League Football and Basketball?

It takes a LONG time for baseball prospects to develop into an MLB-ready player, longer to reach their full potential. 2-3 years in the minors before MLB seems to generally be the minimum. Once they get to the majors, it isn't uncommon that a guy doesn't get accustomed to the game until 28 or so.
Trout is a once in a generation talent that is an exception to this. Besides, college athletics is the development system for football and basketball.
Basketball players can jump straight from high school, or one year of college to the NBA and become instant studs. Footall players generally require a bit more time to develop, though i'd argue running backs (adrian peterson, trent richardson, etc.) and freak athletes (clowney, megatron, etc.) could contribute straight out of high school.

The one thing about baseball is that it takes a lot of teaching and skill. So lots of teams want to develop the talent their way. Football they don't care they want a physically developed person and thats what they will get.
I think the D-league will expand and has potential to be entertaining.
