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.

Maybe it’s just me. Maybe my interest in the minor league system has arisen over the last year and so I figure everyone else’s has too even though they haven’t. But I’m guessing that’s not the case. . . There are several factors that can be attributed to the growing interest in minor [...]

I don’t want to be John Mozeliak right now either [/lying] but if Rasmus is traded, I’ll be collecting donations for bail.
Meet the future catchers — Bryan Anderson is first up.
Slow news day — let’s get right to it. Palm Beach was postponed & Johnson City had the day off so it’s an abbreviated [...]

Off topic: Went and saw the movie Hancock tonight starring Will Smith, Jason Bateman and the stunning Charlize Theron. The movie was ok — I’d suggest just waiting for it to come out on DVD — but I have to issue a warning. You may remember that when I went to “see” [...]

He caught my eye over a year ago when I stopped by the Quad Cities. Jones has often been noted as having the tools to be a tremendous player but the questions of whether it would ever turn into results. A year after being drafted, Kevin Goldstein ranked him as the 5th best [...]

Kary Booher has the rundown on the Springfield game. It’s a bullpen start as Mark McCormick goes back to get a medical opinion on his shoulder. Booher also name drops Justin Fiske (I believe Liam is the one who has been trumpeting the lefty recently) as a guy to watch. As much [...]

[UPDATE] Still not “imminent” but John Mozeliak is hopeful that first round draft pick Brett Wallace will be signed soon. He could be signed within the week (during the Cardinals homestand) and will probably take slot money (surprise, surprise). [/end update]
Blake Hawksworth will DJ your baseball game.
Bad news for Mark McCormick as he continues to [...]

It doesn’t take long for Robinson to get his name in the Memphis paper headlines.
Keith Law name drops both Jess Todd and Jaime Garcia as players to watch at the Futures Game. I’m more excited about the Futures Game than I am the All Star game being in STL next year. I will [...]

I sat down to take a look at a couple of Motte’s outings. I’ve probably watched Motte throw about 10 innings on video so far this year so I’m pretty familiar with him. I charted the pitches from 6/8 & 6/10 to see whether he’s made any adjustments over the course of the [...]

Quiet news day. Springfield gets “rained out” because of the grounds crew. Palm Beach was also postponed leaving us with just 4 teams today.
It’s crazy eights with a lucky 13 as the farm system dominates from top to bottom.

Kary Booher has a piece up about Jon Jay that revolves around the question of where Jay fits in the organization. Let me preface the rest of this by saying that I think Kary does a great job covering the Springfield team. He and Derrick Goold are two must reads for me. [...]

The DFRs are expanding this week. Quad Cities was off but we’ve got a double header in Memphis and Batavia and JC games to recap as well. Let’s get right to it.

I’m certainly not pretentious enough to claim I was never concerned about Colby Rasmus. I was; although probably not for the reasons that others were. Colby Rasmus came into the season as the undisputed #1 prospect. He tore the cover off the ball in Spring Training for a line of .302/.464/.605 — [...]
