    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.

News clippings from spring training regarding the Cardinals’ top prospects.
Leach has all kinds of tidbits.

Kyle McClellan is moving back to the rotation. Seems like a sensible move what the current depth with right handed relievers, and McClellan has four workable pitches, so he seems better suited for starting anyway.
