• 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.

Breaking news: Mozeliak the new GM, not Antonetti

Bernie M has the word–
Just an FYI…
It’s official.
Mozeliak.
Much more later.
-B
Good luck to Mozeliak, but if the moves he has pulled early this offseason are any indication of what’s to come, this is a move in the wrong direction. It just sounds like a perpetuation of the current situation, sans the strife. I have to think [...]

azruavatar’s Top 25 (11-15)

erik’s Top 25 (11-15)

AZ and I will discuss our differences and how we arrived to our list probably early next week. As you can see, there are quite a few. We both sort of agree so far on Martinez and Haerther, and we have some vast differences, like Eddie Degerman and Blake King, and where Pete Kozma fits. [...]

DPR 10/30/07-When Cardinals Clash

Derrick Goold looks at what the Renteria trade teaches us. The gist-the Cardinals don’t have prospects they could sanely trade for a player of Renteria’s caliber, and they don’t have a position player to trade to build depth in the farm. I agree with DG. He also lists his top “climbers” in the Cardinal system [...]

azruavatar’s Top 25 (16-20)

Something that may not have been clear from the get go is that erik and I have not seen each other’s lists prior to making our own. We each made them separately and still haven’t shared them. At the end, I’ll line them up side by side as well as all the other [...]

erik’s Top 25 (16-20)

Onward ho! with the Top 25, this time I’ll go first for the AM post and AZ will have his later in the afternoon.

DPR 10/29

Mesa 13, Peoria 12
Amaury Marti went 3 for 4 with a walk, a HR, and 4 RBI, all with him batting with his left foot.
Mark Hamilton went 0 for 4 in this slug fest, with 1 walk.
Jarrett Hoffpauir went 2 for 6 and had a fielding error.
Kyle McClellan struck out 2 over a perfect inning.

Team [...]

erik’s Top 25 (21-25)

AZ got things kicked off earlier today, so here goes nothing. You may have noticed the “System at a Glance” on the left sidebar, which is my own little concoction. It is somewhat of the basis of how I came up with this list, and I will admit it is pretty subjective and full of [...]

azruavatar’s Top 25 (21-25)

erik and I are going to begin unveiling our respective Top 25 lists in sets of 5. We’re doing separate lists and I think there are going to be some surprising differences. We strive to provide you with the best prospect coverage we can here collecting and processing information from a myriad of [...]

Saturday AM bits and pieces

Per Bernie Miklasz, Joe Mather has been added to the 40 man roster. Congrats to Joe.

Mitch Boggs participated in the AFL Rising Stars Showcase game last night. The game is like the AFL All Star game, but rather then players being on teams for their performance, they are put on the team based more on [...]

Daily Prospect Report 10/25/07

Mesa 6, Team China 0

A surprise to me as Amaury Marti shows up in today’s box score. He went 0-for-4 but I have no idea why he’s there at all. Didn’t come across an explanation in a brief perusal of the interweb.
Mark Hamilton went 1-for-2 with a double and a pair of walks.
Stu [...]
