Japanese term
予備軍
Japanese to English
Other
Sports / Fitness / Recreation
I'm wondering what the best term for 予備軍 would be in the following context.
北京タイーガーズの予備軍
would "Preparatory squad" be appropriate here?
北京タイーガーズの予備軍
would "Preparatory squad" be appropriate here?

Selected
Backups/bench players/bench warmers
I like "bench warmers," but that's slang. I'd go with "backups" or "bench players."

Oh, in that case I think it's "minor leaguers" or "minor league team for the Tigers."

Shoulda went with 2 for the confidence level. :)

Note from asker:
| Hi, casey. Thanks for your answer. Sorry, I should have provided more context. The whole sentence is: 中学2年で北京ユースチーム（北京ターガーズの予備軍のこと）に入団しました。 So, I don't think it's talking about the second string players. Do you have any ideas on how to express this? Thanks! |
