let’s just say one of the best pitching prospects in the cardinals organization.

kopp works better with wood. he was a pitching leader on the cape in 2006.
I think he works with the philosophy, it’s better to induce the grounder in one pitch than 3-5 for a strikeout.

Jackson-

Freese is on the Padres’, (who clock in at 12) list. He’s #28.

Easy-

Barton is a really solid prospect. He came in at #5 in a very good Indians system last year. Outside of the health concerns he comes with, there really isn’t much not to like about him. I will say, though, it probably does say a little something about the overall weakness of the Cards’ position prospects, that he jumped in so high.

where’s freese on that prospect list? did his trade come too late to be included, or do they just have absolutely no idea where to put and him and conveniently left him off the list, hoping no one would spot their mistake?

A few interesting things in that list for me. Is Barton that good or are our other prospects weaker than we think? Hope it’s the former. Motte, Martinez and Gregerson seem too low but Mather, Kozma and Furnish too high. Glad to see Maiques relatively high. I wouldn’t list Hamilton at all but would include Ingram. It is interesting that even the high twenties on the list are interesting prospects. That combined with the 13th ranking give me hope that we’re on the right track.

It didn’t occur to me at the time how hard that would be to read without numbers. Erik or Azru, could one of you guys edit that and put in numbers? I think it would help a bunch.
