Raquet been working his way up the minor league ladder ever since, and now that he’s posted a 1.68 ERA between Double- and Triple-A as a reliever for the Cardinals this year he’ll get the opportunity to show what he can do at the big league level. As for Granillo, the rookie right-hander has just 14 MLB appearances under his belt while working as a multi-inning reliever, with a 4.71 ERA in 21 innings of work. He’ll head to Triple-A, where he has a sterling 1.50 ERA in 24 outings, to wait for his next big league opportunity to arrive.

I am.

What's the story on Racquet? Worked his way up from the Indy leagues...but what else?

[Charles King]

Hampson was a wasted roster spot. He did pinch run often. Church or Scott can do that, which ever is not starting
