Other than Wetherholt, Prieto is the closest hitter to Burleson and Donovan
In the organization. I hope he gets a legit chance to show that.

I see Prieto sitting next to crooks on the bench, so he is closest.

Prieto is the kind of good not great players the Cardinals have too many of. He does seem like a good bat that can make contact and get on base. But his defense is just okay and he doesn’t have any power. Nothing wrong with that if you don’t already have 4 or 5 hitters like that and no true middle of the order hitters.

I hear Prieto is like a LH Burleson

I've never seen him play at the MLB level yet, and based on that, I think they should DFA him immediately.

They should trade Wetherholt then since we have the next Bagwell up now!sdaltons wrote: ↑29 Aug 2025 20:11 pmThere have been comparisons to a right handed Jeff BagwellCorneliusWolfe wrote: ↑29 Aug 2025 20:04 pmHe’s already dreaming big.

We’ve cornered the market on LH hitters who can’t play multiple positions. That’s versatility.

He only likes mediocre-to-[shirt] type of players and makes them some kind of dark horse obsession for some reason. He never likes actual good players. Pretty sure it’s his troll technique.rockondlouie wrote: ↑30 Aug 2025 08:55 am![]()
In such a hurry to crown Prieto as his next obsession he forgets all about the (likely) best hitter in the entire organization.![]()

I remember him hyoing that burly had a low strikeout rate and that isbthe one thing prieto does well, in that prieto had one of the lowest k rates in the minors. Unfortunately that doesnt always lead to much offense. Prieto doesnt walk much either and mostly hits singles or weak ground or flyouts.CorneliusWolfe wrote: ↑30 Aug 2025 09:35 amHe only likes mediocre-to-[shirt] type of players and makes them some kind of dark horse obsession for some reason.
