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.
Amaury also refuses to accept the watch curse. He has the power to curse, and the power to bless.

I recently asked Chris Constancio, one of the many talented writers for the Hardball Times if he’d let me pick his brain a bit, and he was happy to oblige me. For those of you who don’t know about Chris, he analyzes the minor leagues at FirstInning.com. First Inning is a great reference for [...]

Ok, so the guy is probably going to be on the board when the Cardinals have their pick, but as a person who grew up in Missouri always rooting for the local teams, I thought it would be fun to start the Ross Detwiler watch. For those of you who don’t know about Detwiler, [...]

With Juan and Edmonds on the slow road back to health this spring, Colby could get a longer look in camp. (And as an aside, those new caps are just plain goofy looking.)
Goold has an interesting story on his upbringing.

Future Redbirds is now the official sponsor of the Colby Rasmus page at Minor League Splits. Yippee for me.
Speaking of Colby, he’s the only Cardinal that cracked Kevin Goldstein’s Top 100, coming in at #50.
Dayn Perry has started his top 100 prospect rankings, coming in at 97 is Bryan Anderson.
That makes Garcia, Anderson and Rasmus [...]

I always find myself rooting for the little guy, I have the Eckstein t-shirt jersey in my closet to prove it. I guess I like rooting for the hustling scrub like most Cardinal fans, perhaps it stems back to when I was in the 8th grade and the high school basketball coach told me I [...]

Draft day just got a lot more fun, as Jeff Sackmann is beginning to roll out his new website Collegesplits.com. Happy [...]

I like Tyler Greene, but he’s an odd duck. John Sickels summed it up when he called Greene “Rob Deer with speed who plays shortstop with a good glove” He’s in most of the top 10 rankings for Cardinal prospects, but some are skeptical he’ll ever live up to his ceiling.
A 2nd team high [...]

A recent mock draft at Baseball America had the Cardinals picking left-handed pitcher Jack McGeary, a high school prospect from West Roxbury, Mass. Here’s Brewerfan.net’s scouting report on McGeary:
While he’s not a flamethrower at this point in time, he does work regularly in the 88-92 range, and his athletic frame and smooth delivery leads many [...]

Per today’s P-D
Blake Hawksworth, one of the organization’s top pitching prospects, leads the group and is the one not from the 2004 draft. He was the organization’s pitcher of the year in 2006 and is the closest of the group to the majors. He’ll be joined in Jupiter by the top two closers from the [...]

Another possible sleeper for the ‘07 season is RHP Kenny Maiques. In ‘04, Maiques made 12 appearances out of the Long Beach Dirtbag bullpen as a freshman, which was led by an all star pitching staff of Jered Weaver, Jason Vargas and Cesar Ramos. Following the regular season, he had a successful Alaska Summer League [...]
