thanks, MattMitch!!!

started the year between 18-25 (depending on the publication), now we're 8-13. Improvement with draft, but more importantly, the Cards really did well to stack their mid tier rankings with the recent trade deadline. We got back a bunch of 40 grade to 45 grade prospects in those bullpen trades.

Speaking of which, how are they doing?

up and down with the starting pitching...but they have a while to develop. I like the Dohm kid from Miss. State...eventually he'll be an adequate 4-5 starter. Jesus Baez struggled first 2 1/2 weeks, no XBH...then rattled off 2 HR's last week. He's really raw. Blaze Jordan is a weaker Jordan Walker....loves to pound the ball into the ground, sometimes he gets ahold of one...sometimes. I'm not impressed with Blaze...at the moment.

How much weight do Wetherholt and Doyle alone carry? If the rank would be 15-20 without them then really nothing has changed.

JJ and Quinn and Tink only got us in the 18-22 range...that was when both Quinn and Tink were highly rated. It was the lack 35-45 rated players...we were really really thin.

it also helped, and I didn't note, that the DSL yielded 2 highly touted prospects last winter.....Rodriguez and Padilla...with Strop and Hunter on the Horizon

First of all, thanks Crav. Guys like Crooks, Bernial, Church and Baez have progressed. As have a couple of pitchers. Quin Mathews still has weight.

There’s a different slang meaning for dsl. I’m told.

Nice to see the Cardinals moving higher in the farm system rankings.
Baseball America recently released their August updated rankings .
The Milwaukee Brewers , our divisional leading team, was ranked No. 1 farm system . So Bloom has his work cut out for him .

Go Cards !
