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.

All sorts of roster moves were made today. As I’m sure most of you heard, Chris Perez was promoted to Memphis. Mike Sillman was activated off of the DL and will pitch for Springfield. Cody Haerther is back with Springfield as well. Amaury Marti will now move to Springfield now that the Mexican League [...]

Here comes Joel Pineiro to save the season! I don’t know who the PTBNL will be, but the Red Sox are a smart organization, it’ll be some sleeper type who I probably like.
The series against the Brew Crew was fun, but I don’t know how three well played games changed the Cardinals mindset at the trade [...]

Must read material-Lboros has some q+a with Jeff Luhnow regarding Arnoldi Cruz, Tyler Herrron, Jose Martinez, Steve Hill, and more.
Daniel Berk of MLB.com takes a look at the struggles of Colby Rasmus. Sinus infections, youth, whatever the reasons…I just want to see him stop striking out so freakin’ much and start driving the ball. [...]

[Update Tuesday 10:49 by Azru] The Cardinals acquired Joel Piniero for a PTBNL. Since this probably won’t cost us any real prospects, whatever. I’m skeptical that Piniero will be anything even remotely resembling an asset but I guess it can’t hurt. If this frees up Jocketty to move a middle reliever or shove Maroth to [...]

Kevin Goldstein had an interesting article today at BP on positional differences and why moving a prospect to one position or another can hurt or help a prospect’s status based on what the average hitter does at his position. This explains why moving Bryan Anderson to another position is a dumb idea.
Did you know that [...]

At my internship, I file documents, make some phone calls and generally do all the work that no one wants to. (PS - I’m a full graduate working on my Masters in Electrical Engineering. It’s the worst internship ever.) How do I get this intership!!!
Jim Masilak is quickly becoming a thorn in [...]

I want to touch on something before we get started tonight. In the comments of erik’s look at the 2007 draft class thus far, we’ve got a note that says Tyler Henley is expected to sign in the near future. Now, I have no reason to believe that this comment isn’t [...]

Probably not.
Derrick Goold has an interesting look at P.J. Walters, the rich man’s Trey Hearne circa 2006.
In trying to describe the unexpected break and counterintuitive spin of P.J. Walters’ best pitch — the reason he’s climbed three levels this season — a few Cardinals officials fell just short of calling it a trick pitch.
It might [...]

Of course it’s far too early to judge a draft by the first month and a half, but for fun let’s take a look at some of the early returns on some of the Cardinal draftees and see some of the early surprises and disappointments.
Clayton Mortensen- I was surprised as most of you were that [...]

With the trade deadline approaching, I thought I’d steal John Sickels’ schtick (Sickelschtick…is that a candy?) a little bit and have a little mid-day conversation starter. You’re the Cardinal GM. You have the Brewers who have built a strong core from within and the Cubs who are willing to spend, spend, spend to contend with. [...]

The man. The mystery. The Legend. ARRRRRRRRNOLDI CRUUUUUUUZ. Quick quote from the article:
[Quad Cities manager Keith] Mitchell said Cruz’s quick cruise through the Cardinals’ system likely will stop in the Quad-Cities for the remainder of this season.
I was kind of wondering if he might fill in at Palm Beach for Allen Craig but it looks [...]
