Cardinals Minor League Report: 03/18/2017-03/20/2017
I’ve fallen a little behind on the Minor League Report due to finishing touches on the Cardinals Preview Book (which will be available tomorrow). Here are the last 3 days worth of minor league stats.
As an added bonus, I’ve included my prospects ranking with players as they are mentioned; the overall list will be included in the Cardinals Preview Book and released in a post in the near future.
Saturday, the Cardinals’ system went 1-2-1 against the Mets’ system.
Memphis defeats Las Vegas, 7-2
Memphis Pitching
- # 3 Sandy Alcantara – 3 IP, 2H, 2BB, 3K
Memphis Hitting
- Thomas Spitz (RF) – 2 for 3, HR, RBI
- Chris Chinea (1B) – 2 for 2, 2B: Chinea was #51 on my list and I really hated to leave him off; he’s got power but doesn’t get a lot of time behind the plate so far.
- Casey Grayson (1B) – 2 for 3, 2 RBI
Springfield ties Binghamton, 2-2
Springfield Pitching
- Blake McKnight – 2 IP, H, 3K

Memphis Hitting
- Mason Katz (2B) – 2 for 3, 2R, BB, 2B, HR, 3 RBI: Katz was left off my top prospect list, and it’s regrettable; until he can prove he’s healthy, he’s a high risk prospect and probably won’t see time on top prospect lists. He’s still a very intriguing player to me.
