• Amaury Marti Watch

    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.

Final Mock

Well we are getting ready to get started.  Here are our final thoughts.

Final Draft Rankings

After following this draft class very closely over the last year, here are my final top 30 rankings.

College Weekend Wrap-up 6/3

Well with the draft only a couple of days away here we are with the final college wrap-up of the season.  I am guessing the Cardinals will take a few players that you have seen on these pages throughout the season.  This was regional week in the NCAA, so not everyone was playing.  The players [...]

Minorleagueball.com 5 round mock

For the third consecutive year I was handed the reins of the Cardinals organization in the minorleagueball.com mock draft.  This was the highest pick I have had, and I was hoping to add some impact talent to the system.  I believe I was able to accomplish that goal.  Check it out after the break and [...]

College Monday (or Tuesday) wrap-up 5/27

Sorry I was a day late, but I am sure I wasn’t the only one that had a busy weekend.  Memorial day weekend is usually conference tournament weekend, and that means some guys played a lot more games that usual and others were done pretty quickly.  Conor Gillaspie used the MVC tourny to pad his [...]

Cardinals Draft Possibilities: Pick 13

Will Christian Friedrich be the Cardinals first round pick?
From everything we have heard (and from past experience), it looks like the Cardinals are looking for a college pitcher at 13. The four big names that have been thrown around as the elite group of college hurlers are Brian Matusz of San Diego, Mizzou’s Aaron [...]

College Monday wrap-up 5/19

Crosschecker season is in full effect, and the top bats didn’t waste the opportunity as nearly all of them had big weekends. Brian Matusz and San Diego had the weekend off, and you have probably heard of the unfortunate injury to Tanner Scheppers. Aaron Crow and Christian Friedrich tried to capitalize and establish [...]

College Monday wrap-up 5/12

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 [...]

Top 20 Draft Prospects

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 [...]

College Monday wrap-up Cinco de Mayo

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 [...]

Mike Parisi headed to St. Louis

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’ [...]

College Monday wrap-up 4/28

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 [...]
