• 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.

This kind of talk makes me happy

Bernie Miklasz has a nice piece on TLR’s return, with some tidbits that really jumped out at me.
“I appreciate the value of statistical analysis,” La Russa said. “What Jeff and his group do is important. But Jeff (Luhnow) also understands human nature and recognizes the value of a manager and coaches observing players on [...]

Fall/Winter ball Update

Here’s how current Cardinal players are fairing in their respective leagues:
Mesa Solar Sox (Arizona)

Mitch Boggs has yet to allow a run over 6 innings. He’s allowed just two hits while walking three, striking out 4.
