College sinkerballers
Posted on January 29, 2008 by erik
Bryan Smith looks at college arms in his latest edition of Wait ‘Til Next Year . He looks at everything from southpaws to fire-ballers, but what I wanted to highlight was the sinker-ballers. Last year, the first three pitchers they took in the draft had 2:1 ground-out to fly-out ratios or better. (Mortensen, Kopp, Todd). [...]

Posted on January 27, 2008 by erik
This year’s edition of the Prospect Handbook are starting to be delivered if you pre-ordered through their website. Unfortunately, I did not so I won’t be getting mine for another week or so. It’s like having to wait until the weekend to celebrate your birthday. Grumble, grumble.

Thank God for John Mozeliak
Posted on January 27, 2008 by erik
He’s a smarter guy then Bill Bavasi. I want to echo something lboros pointed out a few weeks ago-

Rounding up Redbird notes from around the net.
Keith Law had a chat recently at ESPN and a few Cardinal comments made it in:
Ryan (STL): What are the upsides of Cards minor leaguers Mitch Boggs, Mike Parisi, Ottavino, and Clay Mortenson? Do they stand a decent chance of helping in a few years, or will they [...]

Prospect profile: David Kopp
Posted on January 24, 2008 by erik
I know he’s only pitched a grand total of four minor league innings, but I’ve had a growing fascination with 2nd round pick David Kopp as of late.

Prospect Profile: Bryan Anderson
Posted on January 23, 2008 by azruavatar
It’s both interesting and difficult to evaluate a 20-year old in AA. Colby Rasmus makes it all seem so simple by living up to projections and mashing baseballs. Bryan Anderson represents a more complex case that sits in that middle zone of not yet having come to fruition but still showing some measurable [...]

Redbird recollections: Yadier Molina
Posted on January 22, 2008 by erik
It’s nice to see a homegrown kid make good. After hearing the dollar amount of the deal to lock up Yadi during his arbitration years, it’s almost impossible not to like. And it’s equally impossible to not like Yadi. He’s a fun player to watch. His improbable heroics in Game 7 of the NLCS is [...]
