    Amaury Marti is currently hitting .424/.509/.633 in 39 games for the Mexican Red Devils of the Mexican League, also known as Liga de Amaury Cazana. Bud Selig ordered the Cardinals to banish him to there, in fear of the major leagues losing competitive balance.

Over at minorleaguesplits.com they have batted ball data, and I was curious to see how some of the Cardinal hitting prospects did.

Anyway, here it is, sorry for doing it ugly with the cut and paste from excel. The left is the players’ numbers, the middle numbers [...]

Sickels on the Cards’ prospects

John Sickels has his 2007 rankings for the Cardinal prospects, here’s his top 10, complete with grades and comments:
