Be sure to look below to read Ryan VB’s impressions of the Springfield club. Many of you know Ryan from Cardinals Diaspora and Turf Show Times and know what he’s about. Hopefully he’ll join us more in the season as our eye in Springfield.
Also, a couple other items of note-Chris Lambert takes Dennis Dove’s roster spot in Memphis. Mike Sillman (sore shoulder) landed on the DL so Hugo Castellanos takes his place.
Sickels has a prospect retro of Hancock.

Erik,
I e-mailed Kevin Goldstein about Joe Mather also and this is what he had to say:
Hi Michael.
Mather is a big, big guy with plenty of plus power, but he’s raw hitting skills always held him back a bit — he’s definitely off to a great start. He’s upgraded at least to ‘keep your eye on’.

Any thought to doing a monthly recap? Like, a good and bad of the entire month? I appreciate the daily updates, but an aggregate would give me a better sense where and how guys stand.
MikeJ. Great info, I will post that in one of my main posts. Thanks.
Brock20. I’m a little behind but a monthly recap for the hitters is in the works and should be out later tomorrow morning.
