Sunday was the 8th Annual Blogger Day at Busch Stadium. Like the previous years, President of Baseball Operation John Mozeliak and Team President Bill DeWitt III spoke with us.

ST. LOUIS, MO, April 5, 2018– The St. Louis Cardinals announced today the 2018 Opening Day rosters for their four full-season minor league affiliate teams that begin play today.

Here are the results from the Arizona Fall League, along with those of the Venezuela League and the Mexican Prospect League. The starter for the AFL yesterday was Austin Gomber. Here’s what Baseball America had to say about him: Austin Gomber, lhp, Cardinals. Gomber might get overshadowed in a system that includes pitching prospects such…
Every September, the United Cardinal Bloggers run their top 7 Cardinal Prospects; they were due last week and I completely forgot. So, rather than missing out, here are my Top 7. I looked at their numbers and went with my gut on the rankings. These could be completely different when I analyze the system over…
