Hancel Rincon is a right-handed relief pitcher recently promoted to the St. Louis Cardinals roster. A former starting pitcher, Rincon improved significantly after transitioning to the bullpen, where his strikeout potential increased and his pitch profile played up.
The trade deadline is Monday, August 3rd, and I expect the Cardinals to be active. I'm hoping as sellers because this team is close, but they won't compete in the post season with how the roster is currently constructed.
I think it's safe to say no one saw the Cardinals being 7 games over .500 and a wild card contender coming to the halfway point of the season. It's been a fun season so far and it's the type of baseball Cardinals fans have missed the last few years. That said, there are some major issue with this team and a few moves to fix them.
The Cardinals announced that the team has reduced its Spring Training roster to 35 players with RHP Richard Fitts being optioned to Memphis (AAA). The move pretty much sets the rotation.
The Cardinals announced yesterday that the team has reduced its Spring Training roster to 36 players, with 7 players moving to minor league camp.
The Cardinals announced today that the team has reduced its Spring Training roster to 43 players, with 3 players being re-assigned to minor league camp.
The Cardinals announced 2 sets of roster moves since Saturday's game, including a few big name prospects that were still in camp. Here are a few thoughts and who is still in camp.
Each year, I rank my top 50 #Cardinals Prospects; this year, I'm breaking it into pieces and giving a little more depth to some of the list. This is part 1, where I give the back half of the list; it's just a quick ranking because there really isn't much to say about these guys at this point. #stlcards #forthelou #milb #mlb #baseball #prospects
The #Cardinals today announced their selections for Minor League Player and Pitcher of the Month for August, with Springfield Cardinals (AA) OF Joshua Baez and RHPR Luis Gastelum taking home the honors. #stlcards #forthelou #mlb #milb #baseball
