  1. Plenty of good MLB starters have skipped AAA and had success in the big leagues, especially as more teams promote their position players from AA straight to the MLB. Peralta has the stuff and command to get big leaguers out. That makes him MLB ready in my eyes, and FWIW, I think it's much easier for pitchers with good stuff to adjust to the big leagues than good hitters to adjust to big league pitching.
  2. To be fair, since that time Peralta's: velocity moved up like 3 mphcommand of secondary stuff improvedground ball and strikeout numbers improvedmechanics became much more in control and less violentposted an ERA of like -3 (no typo) so it's not like they are looking at the same guy we are. He's just legitimately gotten alot better the past 2 months, and I think new lists will reflect that. EDIT: Forgot to mention the walks went down and he got promoted. I literally can't think of a way Peralta hasn't gotten better. Wow what a run.
  3. I agree. We have a very legitimate number 1 prospect and Thornburg is not a bad number 2 guys either. Sprinkle in a re-emerging Green and Gamel, Schafer and the draft picks and our system is starting to a look a little less depressingI'd have the draft picks at #2 and #3 in whichever order, and if you like Lopez he could be #4. But all in all, I agree. Guys like Santo Manzanillo, Orlando Arcia, etc etc essentially coming out of nowhere provide some depth that we didn't have. We're still probably a bottom 3rd system, but the turnaround has begun.
  4. At some point Peralta is going to be mentioned among the top 50 prospects in baseball. He's MLB ready, has great stuff, and has gotten outstanding results of late. We have a clear cut number 1 prospect now, even with the draft picks signing.
  5. Shelby Miller and Carlos Martinez are the two big Cardinals prospects. Miller will be top 10 and could sneak into the top 5 overall, and Martinez should be in the top 20, and possibly the top 15. They each project as a #1 SP down the line, Martinez having perhaps the best fastball among prospects in the minors. Two other guys in the system are Zach Cox, a 3B who is hitting rather well right now, and Tyrell Jenkings, a raw RHP with a ton of upside. I would probably rank the Cards system a notch above the Brewers based solely on those 4, and I'd assume BA/BP/PG/KLaw/etc would agree.
  6. Kendall Rogers is reporting we got McFarland for $315k and a scholarship package. Great pickup, and now we can go and try and get Rodon!
  7. 1. Next year's draft is much weaker than this draft. We wouldn't end up with a player of Jungmann's caliber. 2. The 13 pick is all we get, we get the pick in the 20's and Fielder's compensation picks regardless. 3. I don't think you understand how negotiating works. Jungmann has more leverage (which = more money) by not saying anything right now. He's going to end up being a Brewer, he'll be happy about it, and he will make a bunch of money. Even "I'm excited to get my pro career started" decreases his leverage. If I was him I'd walk into the negotiating room sporting nothing but burnt orange and a Cubs hat.
  8. The underlying theory of "Moneyball" is that small market teams need to find market inefficiencies in order to compete with big market teams consistently. Back when the book was written, OBP was undervalued and athleticism was overvalued. Obviously that no longer applies as every front office, Ed Wade nonwithstanding, uses more advanced metrics. Nowadays, I think Moneyball comes into play in the draft or players who don't fit in with their clubhouse. The two best examples of this are Alex Anthogfnvalous of the Blue Jays and Andrew Friedmann of the Rays. They spend tons of money on draft picks (through accumulation of supplemental picks and by signing overslot high schoolers) and frequently trade for guys like Colby Rasmus who fall out of favor with their FO's. Ultimately, the buy-low philosophy of Moneyball still applies.
  9. So is Lucroy.Except that Roenicke has Lucroy entrenched in the 8 hole.Well he's the catcher. Obviously the catcher bats 8th. Why would you have your catcher bat anywhere else?
  10. I'd bring him in to face Freese, but I don't want him having to face BerkmanIn a perfect world, he could face Freese and then Hawkins could go 1 and 2/3.With an off day tomorrow, I see no reason not to burn the bullpen up if you have to. No way we want the Cardinals to even have the slightest shot at coming back.
  11. I'd bring him in to face Freese, but I don't want him having to face Berkman
  12. "It wasn't until I left the Cardinals that I realized how hated the Cardinals are around baseball" - Ryan Ludwick lol
  13. Unless the pitchers spot comes up to bat this inning. It is after Lucroy, correct?You're right. C'mon Jonny.
