????? needs to come via trades and free agents.
You are underestimating Saggese. He's just scratching the surface as an MLB hitter. He's going to be a good one for a long time. Wetherholt may be a better eventual MLB hitter than Saggese. But that's certainly not a given. I guess we will have to just wait and see. The future catcher situation is fluid, indeed.
You edited a little over two lines four times? You are some piece of work, Sport.

How's this starting rotation shaping up in three years to go along with my projected lineup? 1) Liberatore 2) Pallante 3) Roby 4) McGreevy 5) Mathews.

2) Where is Donovan? He’s only 28 and is the best hitter on the team!
3) Nootbaar traded? FA?

Liberatore is there, so is McGreevy, maybe Graceffo. Pallante may be the five. Three years is a while, there will be trade acquisitions, FA signings

Cusecards, if Donovan is still a very productive player and doesn't sign elsewhere. He'd certainly be fine to still have in three seasons. The Cardinals really need to come up with a stud, slugging outfielder before then.

1)
2) Mathews
3) Liberatore
4) Pallante
5) McGreevy

Maybe that's how the rotation looks to me, three years from now.

Roby has the talent to be a factor. Hope he can stay healthy. Mathews needs to get it together at AAA first.

Your lineup and rotation w/all players from within the system is BDWJr wet dream (re: payroll under $80M) and a roster that would lose 90 games every year.

I would say Winn is the only above average big league player. Scott is approaching that. The rest are unproven. So the rest you hope are good.

1. It most likely includes at least 2 pitchers who are not currently in the organization.

....because....

2. Not all of these guys are going to make it. No organization hits on every prospect. A couple of these guys are bound to flop at some point.
