I enjoyed talking about our catching prospect Carson Kelly, so I thought I’d look at another prospect, Harrison Bader. Bader made it to AAA last year, where he struggled. That was only in 161 AB’s though, and he had hit in all previous levels. Plus, remember, we just drafted him in 2015, as a 3rd [...]

You remember how we spent a lot of time talking about the craziness of the Cardinals going to arbitration with their best pitcher? You know how we said it sounded like John Mozeliak had taken an extension off the table, that they were plowing full speed ahead to this confrontation with their ace? Well, in [...]
