St. Louis certainly doesn’t have the market cornered on a type of ballplayer but if a poll was taken, a vote for grinders would most definitely make the final cut. The Cardinals added two more of this type in rounds 6 and 7 while also potentially saving money needed to ensure all of the picks [...]
GUILMET PURCHASED FROM MEMPHIS (AAA), GREG GARCIA ON PATERNITY LEAVE ST. LOUIS, MO – June 5, 2018–The St. Louis Cardinals announced prior to tonight’s series opener with Miami that they have activated All-Stars Yadier Molina and Carlos Martínez from the 10-day disabled list. The Cardinals also announced today that right-handed pitcher Preston Guilmet has been purchased from Memphis and infielder Greg Garcia has [...]
Some things are pretty much deal breakers as far as how you rank prospective draftees for the Cardinals. If you have shown an ability to hit with a wood bat, for instance, that checks off a very important box. Meet Nick Dunn from the University of Maryland, the most recent St. Louis Draft pick and [...]
Continuing a couple of trends from yesterday, the Cardinals used Round 4 on their first left-handed pitcher of the Draft. They also must hope that Steven Gingery has thrown his final pitch for Texas Tech, as that will be the only way he signs with St. Louis. Much as in the case of Luken Baker, [...]
Hard to argue against taking a high school SS who was taught the game by a former big leaguer, especially when that player is your father. Mateo Gil won’t be an easy sign in the third round, but maybe one current TCU player and a certain alumni can convince him to join the Cardinals. Or [...]
Home run #: 28 Date: June 5 Opponent: San Francisco Giants Location: Busch Stadium Pitcher: Orel Hershiser Score: 0-0 Inning: 1 Outs: 1 Runners on: 1 Distance: 409 feet End of day Sammy Sosa total: 17 End of day Ken Griffey Jr. total: 22 If you are going to chase down a record, you need a lot of things. You need [...]
Last night was a huge first step in setting the stage for the summer season. Three teams begin play later this month with most of the pieces directly coming from activities of the next two days. At this point the baseline has been established with how the 2018 Draft will play out. The Cardinals went [...]
ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 4, 2018 – The St. Louis Cardinals, armed with three selections during the first night of the 2018 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, selected third baseman Nolan Gorman out of Sandra Day O’Connor High School in Phoenix, Ariz., with the 19th overall pick in the opening round. “We’re very excited for the opportunity to [...]
Luken Baker will not be confused with any other draft pick the Cardinals make the next two days. And with the third selection on Day 1, St. Louis has improved another area sorely lacking throughout the Minors. The burly 1B from TCU has dealt with his fair share of injuries but has very few contemporaries [...]
After adding a potential number one type of prospect to the organization at #19, the Cardinals opted for a much different type of player with #43. Griffin Roberts won’t get the publicity of many other college hurlers drafted before him, but that doesn’t mean they will see the majors first. Roberts is a former closer [...]
Gotta admit as the time for the Cardinals to pick got closer, it was crazy to see two names still on the board. The Royals took all the drama out of the equation, however, and St. Louis scored the steal of the night. Kansas City snagged Brady Singer who somehow fell to 18th, and that [...]
Save for one game, this past weekend’s series with the Pittsburgh Pirates might have been the most dramatic you are ever going to find. In fairness, the Cardinals did have that great series with the Cubs where they walked games off twice with homers, so that’s right up there, but when you have two games [...]
