Amaury Marti is currently hitting .424/.509/.633 in 39 games for the Mexican Red Devils of the Mexican League, also known as Liga de Amaury Cazana. Bud Selig ordered the Cardinals to banish him to there, in fear of the major leagues losing competitive balance.
Amaury also refuses to accept the watch curse. He has the power to curse, and the power to bless.

For someone who is essentially on the cusp of making the big league team, Mark Worrell has had something of an under the radar career. We’ve seen the Padres snatch up under-appreciated relievers like this in recent years (Cla Meredith, Joe Thatcher) and while Petco helps anyone who sets foot on the mound, [...]

Cody Haerther had a roller coaster of a week, so he is next to get his close up in this edition of prospect profiles.

Tyler Norrick doesn’t get as much attention as he deserves, in my opinion. Therefore, he is the subject of this edition of our prospect profiles.

Mitch Boggs may not have the upper nineties fastball or sharp slider that Adam Ottavino has. He does not have the heavy sinker or 12-6 dropper of Jaime Garcia. He doesn’t have the pinpoint control of Tyler Herron or P.J. Walters. He may not garner the same type of attention that other Cardinal pitching prospects [...]

Drafted out of California, Allen Craig has been on the fast track in the Cardinal’s farm system. An 8th round pick who signed for a paltry $15,000. A member of the 2002 US Junior National team (along with luminaries like Ian Kennedy, Chad Billingsley and Lastings Milledge), Craig had several injury setbacks during [...]

The Cardinals have been waiting for Joe Mather to break out a while and this past season their patience has paid off.

I admit I was a little disappointed that BA ranked Adam Ottavino only the 15th best prospect in all of the Florida State League. After all, he was a first round draft pick and was among the league leaders in ERA (3.08), strikeouts (128), and innings pitched. (143.1) Honestly though, I wasn’t all that surprised. [...]

It is about time we started getting things kicked off with the prospect profiles, and we’ll start things out with Brad Furnish. He’s been the subject of some conversation here lately, so I figure why not take a closer look at him?

There are very few players that get me truly riled up regarding the level they are playing at. The college pitchers do in general but not in particular. Ottavino, Degerman. . . I’d like to see them move up but I can see the other side of the proverbial coin. Jarrett Hoffpauir, [...]

Lboros at VEB said yesterday that he found it interesting that the organization saw it fit to advance Mike Parisi over former 2004 #1 draft pick Chris Lambert. He wasn’t alone thinking that the plan was to give Lambert the sink-or-swim treatment this year, but Lambert didn’t do anything to prove he was ready for [...]

In light of some recent events, we could be seeing top pitching prospect Blake Hawksworth a lot sooner then later. I am certainly not excited about the circumstances around all that, but it’ll be nice to see the possessor of the James Bondsian movie moniker in real life form. Here’s a brief history of “the Hawk”.
A live arm [...]

Nick Stavinoha opened some eyes the season before last after being drafted in the 7th round out of LSU to hitting .344/.398/.564 for the Quad Cities in his debut. I actually got to see him first hand and I came away impressed with his hitting abilities. I was pleased to see him move up to [...]
