He is an Aussie who played for the Brewers AAA team last year, and was sold to a Korean team mid-season. I'm not sure how he did in Korea though considering I have no idea where to get those stats. Or you could go the reliever route with Winston Abreu and Dan Giese. You next guy you should start telling people the Cardinals should sign is Chris Oxspring.

They gave him a major league contract too. At least I should get to see how he does on a regular basis for a while. I saw that. They gave him a major league contract too.

I can't imagine that he will be allowed to block any worthier prospect from the system. I suspect Gibson’s son will quickly go the way of Red Schoendienst’s nephew.

He has issues about his desire, and a shoulder surgery that will be very difficult to come back from. "And Chris Gibson absolutely sucks. A favor that will cost someone who actually deserves a shot at affiliated ball." Glad I'm not the only one that bristled at this signing. It's B.S. Prior is finished.

It looked normal in 2006. I'd assume that's just fluke random variation. Jack Cassel and Josh Towers look like awfully similar versions of the same player to me.

I wonder if the Cards instructors can teach him anything that his dad already hasn't tried to teach. Or if Bob wants to convert his son to pitcher. Either way it is more of a hmm thats interesting thing then a Wow that is great thing. Yeah I saw his near Mendoza batting avg.
