Like each year, I’m watching the Cardinal’s draft class to see who signs and how it impacts the draft bonus pool. Here’s a quick rundown of the signing period. Each pick in Rounds 1-10 have an assigned slot value; it’s a recommendation from MLB on what that pick is worth. Players may sign for more…
Margaritaville Night and Pooches in the Ballpark Highlight Fourth Homestand ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 20, 2019 – Returning from their road trip through Atlanta and Arlington, the Cardinals are back at Busch for five games over seven days. The fourth homestand of the year opens with two games against the Kansas City Royals (May 21-22) and…
After a dismal start against the Brewers and Padres, who expected the Cardinals to be the best team in baseball heading into the second month of the seasons? Sure, the team has pitching depth, a solid bullpen, and an improved lineup, but after that start it was hard to imagine them sitting atop the Central…
Coming into this last series, all Cardinal fans was the team to pitch around Christian Yelich. That’s understandable; the guy crushed us in the first 2 series, going 12 for 24 with 9 R, 9 HR, and 19 RBIs. Would walking him be the right thing to do though? The first factor to consider is…
The Cardinals had a pretty successful week, sweeping what was one of the hottest teams in the league in the Dodgers, then splitting a 2 game series with the Reds in Mexico. Here are the NL Central Standings as of this morning: Team W L W% GB Brewers 10 6 .625 — Cardinals 9 6…

Each year, I rank the top 50 prospects in the St. Louis Cardinals minor league system (and normally complete it before the season starts). For my rankings, I look at other lists, my thoughts on the players from live watches and videos, and scouting reports across the web. With each ranking, I list the numbers…
Each Monday, I’m going to give my thoughts from the previous week for the Cardinals.  Since it was a short week, here’s a short look. The Brewers took the 4 game opening series 3-1; it was close to being a split, but Christian Yelich got the win against closer Jordan Hicks with a walkoff double….
The Cardinals system took on the Nationals system yesterday, getting the edge 2-1-1 for the day. They’ll face the Nationals again today. Please note, these stats are incomplete and I just go by what the Cardinals send out. Also, players are placed on teams to get work in and might not end up with the…
If trading for Paul Goldschmidt was the biggest surprise of the off-season, signing Adam Wainwright the way it happened would probably be second. Wainwright’s contract was announced before free agency began, but then was put on hold until after it started. He received a low base salary and incentives for starting, closing, and middle relief….
The 2018 Cardinals lacked a middle of the order threat; with Bryce Harper and Manny Machado on the market after the season, some believed that one of those two would be the targets of the front office. Instead, they traded for Paul Goldschmidt. Goldschmidt is a perennial MVP candidate and that slugger the team was…
