t7rick -

Derrick Goold had a laundry list of signed prospects on Birdland the other day. Baseball America’s draft database (subscriber content) does a pretty good job of recording signings as well.

to get him more innings, would be my guess. he was pitching in a relief role. maybe they want to send him down a level to be a part of the piggyback rotation, since it’s been disbanded in all places but QC

a more apt level? the dude hadn’t given up an earned run in palm beach. what is the point of moving him down when he is dominating the level he is at?

Good to see Castillo assigned to Quad Cities. He’s just a kid. Let him play at a more apt level. Similarly, good to see de la Cruz and Bolivar step down a level or two. All three have lots of potential in the long run.

Good to see the Cards make room for Oeder at Quad Cities. He will be fine at this level.

The Quad Cities team should be strong in the 2nd half. The rookie league squads too. We had some talent stashed in EST.

I hear everyone on the sensible thing being keeping Anderson in AAA, BUT, I still think there is something to be said for having your best option playing. Having experienced a few concussions myself I would rather Yadi have more than enough time to recover (vs. getting into a Matheny type situation). That said, if someone is taking at bats at the big league level why not Anderson. He has shown the aptitude and has earned his spot. For that matter it seems that Colby’s bat would be a boon for interleague play… As for our LHP conundrom - I just don’t see many lefties who will do a better job than the combination of McClellan, Perez, and Izzy. If you have good relief pitching you are not as reliant on the LOOGY….

I sincerely doubt Anderson will be called up as the third catcher. As stated above, LaRue figures to get most of the playing time and I would suspect the org would rather bring up Mark Johnson to sit on the bench than waste one of Anderson’s options.

Again, assuming Yadi will be back sooner than later. Can’t be too careful with these concussions.

It’s going to be interesting to see what happens if Wallace beats the snot out of the ball at QC and at PB.

i wouldnt call that a bold prediction, but i feel where you are coming from….as long as both their ops’s stay near each other(assuming they stay average to above average)…i’ll be happy

maybe now that pete isn’t the new toy anymore, he won’t feel as much pressure to produce and he will raise his level of play higher than the good level it is already at

Bold prediction: Wallace will have more HR’s than Pete by late July, even with a 200 AB head start.
