For the record, is it Jay-me Garcia or Hi-me Garcia?

Now that that is out there. I hope he does well if called up. Great to have arms ready in Memphis that aren’t named Cavazos and Jiminez.

Bob, the way Dave Duncan was talking today he might be pitching for StL this week.

McCormick = not a starting pitcher. Period. I say move him to relief full-time and see how he responds.

Garcia, because he’s such a groundball pitcher (his most recent start notwithstanding), may be even *more* successful at the MLB level than the minors, due to (vastly?) superior infield defense. Hey, it happened for Brandon Webb.

I’d love to see Jaime get a call-up pronto.

Does Brett Wallace become one of the top five prospects for the Cardinals after this year?
Mike from Fenton, Mo.

I absolutely think he will be. I don’t think there are too many systems he wouldn’t be. There aren’t many bats as good as what Wallace brings to the table.

Does Anthony Reyes get a chance if these injuries to Wellemeyer and Wainwright are long term problems? I understand that the organization has somewhat moved on from him, but we know Parisi isn’t the answer and Garcia might not be ready. I am anxious to see Boggs tonight. Tough ballpark to pitch your first game in the majors.

Russell was drafted in the third round, Stutes in the 11th. Russell may make slightly more money per “slot” if he signs this year, Stutes slightly less. It’s credible that Russell won’t sign but rather roll the dice one more time, as his performance this year definitely didn’t enhance his prospects for getting the big contract he wants.

Russell went in the third round and was viewed as being very signable. . .probably because he performed well below expectations and struggled with the wood bat last summer. That’s $1 mil I’m glad we didn’t spend. He has been quoted as saying he’s ready to begin his pro career now and is not going back to Texas.
