Clemens and Minor League Baseball Size

I read in today's Clemens update:
""I did everything I wanted to do with the baseball, pretty much," Clemens said, though he cited some problems with his splitter because of the difference in size between the Major and Minor League baseball"

The balls in MiLB are different than in MLB? I wasn't aware of this - are they smaller, bigger, and why?

Rocket...

Clemens has been known to confuse bats and balls on occasion...

Fatter

He really looks overweight to me. Maybe those minor league uniforms don't quite fit the same way, but he looks 10-15 pounds heavier than when he pitched last year.
