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…
Monday, the Cardinals system took on the Marlin system, splitting the 4 games. 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 level they are playing at. Memphis lost to New…
Friday was a camp day due to rain and Saturday the system faced the Nationals. 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 level they are playing at. Friday, March…
Dexter Fowler is coming off a season he’d like to forget; he was one of the worst player in the majors and dealt with personal issues that may or may not have impacted his playing. He was playing for a manager for half the season that he didn’t see eye to eye with (or that’s…
The Cardinals are pretty much set on their 40-man roster for the next few weeks; below are the salary obligations for those on the 40-man. Note that yellow cells are option buyouts, as they are the only commitment the team is currently tied to; once options are exercised, the matrix will be updated. Also note…
Each year, I track prospect rankings to help formulate my own rankings and to help with fantasy baseball drafts. This year, I haven’t had a chance to compile to overall list, so I’ve got the Cardinal prospects and I’m adding top overall lists. On both tabs, I have the average rankings, median ranking, the mode…
It’s no secret that the Cardinals need an impact bat. It’s also no secret that Cardinal fans want to see Bryce Harper as that bat. Is it realistic though? If you look at the recent history of the Cardinals, a deal like this doesn’t happen often; but it’s not for lack of trying. The last…
