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…

Midday Friday, James Gun was fired by Marvel Studios from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3; he was in the process of writing the movie that he’d direct. The cause of his firing: Tweets he made in 2010. Josh Hader of the Milwaukee Brewers went through a similar situation on Wednesday night, as he was…
I’ve never been much of a Matheny fan, as a manager, and I’ve been vocal about it. He was a great leader of men, but he was a lousy leader of ballplayers; he was the right guy when Oscar Taveras passed away, but the wrong guy making pitching changes. That said, I was shocked to…
Like the MLB Draft Tracker, I do one individually for the Cardinals. I have a little more info include in the table, like percentage of a position they took, percentage of education levels, etc. In the near future, I’ll look at the last few years of each of these demographics to see what trends they’ve…
