Forgive the lack of posts after just getting started, I guess I’ve gotten a little swallowed up by post season baseball. I’m sure y’all can understand. The Arizona Fall League has recently got things kicked off starting today, and there are some Cardinal players of note involved. On the roster of the Peoria Saguaros are outfielders Nick Stavinoha, Amaury “the Body” Marti, infielder Brendan Ryan, starting pitcher Stu Pomeranz, Eric Haberer, and reliever Dennis Dove.
Not a real exciting list, Nick Stavinoha and a cast of characters. It would be great to see Stavvy have an incredible fall and see him in spring training this upcoming March. Amaury Marti stuggled upon his call up to AA, and he apparently isn’t very good about lying about his age. He’s 30+ as it turns out, and needs to make a splash or learn another trade. He’s got the most to prove out of anyone in the group. Brendan Ryan is another player I’d expect to see in spring training even if he doesn’t hit the cover off the ball in the Fall League. Ryan’s season was marred by injuries in 06, but I could see him as another Hector Luna if he can stay healthy.

Thanks… With the postseason intensity, the fact that the AFL had started already slipped me by.
Stavi had a good game yesterday(10/10), going 3-5 with a double, but was crap today, 0-5 with a slew of RBI opportunities. Amaury Marti jacked a homer today and went 2-5. That’s good.
Also see our opponents fielding MiLB’s lone 30-30 man in the 2006 season, Terry Evans, and that he’s keeping up his breakout pace: 4-9 2 2B, 3 RBI, 1BB, 2K.
Here’s hoping Weaver turns in a few more solid starts this postseason for the Cardinals.
