We are only 3 weekends away from the draft, so the guys are running out of time to impress. The top of the draft has been locked in for a while, but there are some new names popping up in the late first round. One of those guys stretched it out a little [...]

Yesterday erik gave everybody a look at how he thinks the first 13 picks of the draft are going to go, and today I am trying to figure out the top 20 prospects available. We are about a month out, and while there is some consensus starting to develop with the college players, the [...]

Another rough weekend for the top college pitchers, but Christian Friedrich took advantage and fired a great game. I don’t know if the Cardinals will look at relievers early, but this week I decided to add a few of them in the report. The bats continue to roll as Yonder Alonso and Brett Wallace show [...]

Today the Cardinals have promoted Mike Parisi to the major leagues while sending reliever Anthony Reyes to Memphis. Parisi becomes the first member of the Cardinals’ 2004 draft class to make it to St. Louis. It is not clear what his role will be, but I would expect he will just assume Reyes’ [...]

It was a rough weekend for the top college prospects as nearly all of the pitchers struggled, and most of the top bats struggled as well. I put most of the pitching lines up, but the hitting side is a little limited in this week’s report. There still were some impressive performances like [...]

The wrap is back with some familiar names. Gordon Beckham and Buster Posey continue to mash while Yonder Alonso and Justin Smoak are heating up at the right time. Shooter Hunt showed that he might just have a clue where the ball is going, but Christian Friedrich missed his scheduled start this weekend. [...]

One of the strengths of this draft is the college pitching, and that may be where the Cardinals are leaning with their first pick. We have already profiled the top two pitchers, but the next group of hurlers is pretty strong as well. This set of pitchers may not have the polish of [...]

The draft reports have been gone for a while, but this week they make their comeback. I am going to try and do a few more so we get most of the guys that are potentially there at 13 profiled, but then I am going to skip some guys and go back to the [...]

The top college sluggers all had good weekends while the top two college arms struggled for about the first time all year. However, there were some very good performances from the next tier of hurlers, and one simply amazing night for the favorite to go #1 in next year’s draft. Check it all [...]

Aaron Crow may never allow a run again, and Buster Posey was an extra base hit machine this weekend. A big name makes his first appearance, and the rest of this week’s top performers all inside this week’s wrap-up. It kind of looks a mess, but I don’t have the new format completely [...]

We have given you updates on some of the top college players, and we have also given our thoughts on how the top prospects rank. Now it is time to try and fit something together and see where they might go. It is still extremely early, and I would be surprised if I [...]

Buster Posey is breaking out while Aaron Crow and Brian Matusz continue to show why they are the top 2 pitchers in college baseball. Gordon Beckham almost missed the wrap-up for the first time, but a big day Sunday kept his streak alive. Check out some of the other top performers after the break.
