Minor League Updates (8/7) ~ Cards System

[redbirdfan51]

Hey Duce, what pitcher in the Cards system do you think will have the most impact on the Cardinals 2026 season? Name a number 2 also.

I’ve been a little surprised at the arm strength that Prieto has shown at short stop tonight. He looks like a guy ready to move up to the majors, at least as a utility guy. However, there’s really no room in St. Louis as the team is currently constructed. He needs to be moved to a team lacking in that area.
Torres with his .400+ OB% should be able to find a Major League team as well. Plays 2nd base and outfield, with decent speed.
It’s kinda weird how the Cardinal organization promotes and favors some players and others, who look like they can really play, get no chance at all!

[Hoosier59]

Hales looks like a slinger! Different kind of a delivery.

Springfield 0, San Antonio 0 ; Top 5th

Ixan Henderson ~ 4 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 7 K, 1 WP, 1 HBP ....88 pitches, 53 strikes

Noah Mendlinger ~ 1-1, Single, BB.

For an 8th round pick, Ixan Henderson seems to be quite a find, his AA #'s are pretty good. Although prospect rankings have Roby, Hence, & Hjerpe higher, Ixan could perhaps reach the majors rotation sooner than those guys, because of their injuries/surgeries.

Wow, Siani a lead off triple, just after Durham took a 1-0 lead.

[Hoosier59]

Ends up scoring the tying run on a bad throw home by the SS.

Durham catcher saved the game with a great stab.
What's it like ot have a catcher who moves his body and avoids WPs?

[ClassicO]

It didn't look like Crooks hit it that far, but a great double by Crooks.

[Hoosier59]

Crooks, an opposite field double off the wall to score two! Nice!

Gersen Moreno is blowing this game for Memphis in the 9th....Roycroft warming up. He pitched last night....rather well, but still

[ClassicO]

Poor Memphis is left trying to close with Gerson Moreno or Roycroft. Argh.
Not going well...

Major League team? Hopefully, Mathews.

#2? That's tough...I'd like to see Robberse get into the BP if healthy.

Maybe Doyle if all goes well.

2027 is a better get for Farm Kids....I'm liking Davis more and more if he can hone the control. He strikes out everyone right now. Too many walks. He's like LH Sonny Gray. Short. Mautz and Henderson could make a push for the Bigs. Henderson must go deeper in games, though. Mautz for the BP.

I like Luis Gastelum a lot in the backend of the BP. Young, still a little raw, but the best Changeup in the minors...all of the minors in 30 Orgs, 4 farm teams
