• Amaury Marti Watch

    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.

Daily Prospect Report 6/22/2007

So not really sure what went on with the GCL Cardinals…they don’t have a score up and since they don’t have a website, well, I dunno.

Memphis 4, Round Rock 3

  • Mike McCoy went 2-for-3 with a HR.
  • Rick Ankiel went 0-for-4 with 2Ks.
  • Rico Washington went 2-for-3 with a triple and a HR.
  • How the Redbirds won, I’m not sure. Rico Washinton had 2 errors, Rick Ankiel had an error and Ryan Christianson had 2 errors as well.
  • Mike Pairisi went 6 innings with 5 hits 2 BBs allowing 3 runs. He also struck out 3 but was denied the win.
  • Lambert picked up the win allowing a hit and striking out a batter in a scoreless 7th.
  • Troy Percival struck out the side in the 8th.
  • Brian Falkenborg picked up the save with a scoreless 9th.

  • Catcher Danilo Sanchez struck out in all three at bats.
  • Jaime Garcia took the loss despite a nice outing. He went 5.1 IP allowing 2 ER with 6 hits, 1BB and 6 Ks.

  1. Question about Garceau, I know he’s been one of those guys that could be considered a serious prospect, but I was curious about his repertoire and if you think he can be anything?

  2. Ryan,

    I’ve seen Garceau, I fully believe he has a major league arm. he throws in the 92-94 range, good change up that’s about 10-13 MPH slower with sink, and he threw a decent curve. I was very impressed from what I saw from him.

  3. Awesome. I’m trying to keep a lot of these young arms in order. Tyler Herron was given a vote of recommendation by Keith Law, and then there’s Degerman with the funky delivery and Garceau. Are those the best pitchers of A/A+?

  4. I’d personally rank the arms of A/A+

    1. Ottavino
    2. Herron
    3. Garceau
    4. Degerman
    5. Norrick

    I know a lot of people are pretty high on Norrick, Kevin Goldstein included. Throws 91-93 fastball and is a lefty who can get ground balls, so maybe he belongs higher.

    I’ve seen Degerman, here’s some pics i snapped of his delivery http://futureredbirds.com/2007/05/05/johnny-on-the-spot-i-was-at-the-swingkernels-game/

    I think he has a big league curveball, but he’ll have to rely on good control throughout his career because from what I saw in his fastball left a lot to be desired.

    Herron throws 3 pitches, sinker, change, curve…All 3 pitches are above average.

  5. Jarrett Hoffpauir is Mark Loretta-ing his way to a callup. That’s not a comp, just what his numbers look like right now.

    Speaking of, I remember when our only real hitting bright spots in the low minors were Hoff and Cody Haerther. Any word on how far he is from a return? BP lists his #3 and #6 comps as Andre Ethier and Adam LaRoche.
