Donovan Solono also has a .405 BABIP, pretty unsustainable for a guy who’s hitting the ball on the ground 61%. No one is THAT fast.

While I think this is a long-shot, PJ Walters continues his success at AA. He’s only got about 70 AA innings under his belt, but I wouldn’t mind seeing him move up another level.

Heard that on the radio as well, Phil. That’s a really unfortunate scenario. If I had to guess, the recently demoted Cory Rauschenberger makes a lot of sense for AAA.

That’s terrible news about Joe Rogers.

Congrats on the big hat tip from Birdland today, by the way.

I’v just herd that Joe Rogers is out for the year with Tommy John. So who’s gunna get the call to come up from AA? Or will they go a different way with how poor Springfield is doing so far?

i would as well, but the cardinals didn’t even have the chance to take 2 of those guys. the red sox were also picking right before the cardinals on several of those picks, so maybe they took someone we were going to take. i think rasmus is the best position player in that group, but buccholz is the best pitcher. when you take a grouping of buccholz and ellsbury and compare it to rasmus and herron, the duo makes it better. lowrie and bowden also have a chance of being useful, while mccormick is really the only other one on the cardinals list who has a chance.

one other thing you didn’t take into consideration was the later round picks. the cardinals added bryan anderson, jaime garcia, and mitch boggs in the later rounds in that draft. when you add those guys in this gets a lot closer.

Which early draft would you rather have had in 2005:

Cards: 28-Rasmus, 30-Greene,43-McCormick, 46-Herron, 70-Wilson, 78-Webber

Red Sox: 23-Ellsbury, 26-Hanson, 42-Bucholz, 45-Lowrie, 47-Bowden, 57-Egan

I’d have to choose the Red Sox draft over the Cardinals.
