Future Redbirds

Baseball America had their Double A tool winners out: Best Power - Joe Mather, Best Defensive Outfielder - Colby Rasmus, Best Outfield Arm - Rasmus, Most Exciting Player - Rasmus, Best Manager Prospect - Pop Warner. It is a nice sight to see Rasmus praised with his defense but there’s not really a whole lot of context for it with these surveys. [Azru edit] Art catches my ommission in the comments - Chris Perez was named the best reliever in the Texas League.

[erik edit]-Oliver Marmol was moved up to the Quad Cities from Batavia.
