Cards already moving Liam Doyle to AA Springfield

Post by Bully4you »

So, he pitches 1 2/3 innings in A ball and now he's moved to AA?
Must have been one hell of a 1 2/3 innings!!!
I guess they want him to get more work before year ends

Palm Beach's season is over now

And honestly a college pitcher w/his experience shouldn't have been started in A ball anyway.

That’s surprising but I guess they are wanting him to get in more games so it makes sense

Didn't they put Cooper Hjerpe at that level too?
I thought that kid was gonna be better.
It's quite a leap to just draft him and place him at AA though.

It's good news.
If they didn't think he could handle it, they wouldn't promote.
I see it as good news anyway.

AA should bring a nice challenge for him.
Exciting draft pick (two years in a row)

Not really Bully

Doyle was the #5 pick in the draft, led college ball in KO's and has four years of college ball experience that includes two years in the SEC (the best).

The college experience puts him well above Class A players, on par w/AA level where he belongs.

Hjerpe was drafted much later as the 22nd player drafted in his class and started at A+ and only had three seasons at Oregon.

Doyle had an extra season of college ball.

No offense to Hjerpe, but Doyle is a way higher level prospect.

He hadn't pitched in a while, so could be some rust.
3 K's is nice.

Well, wherever they place him, I just hope he dominates.
We need a #1 in the worst way.
This is the only scenario (draft) I see us getting one.

The great news is he's coming in w/the fully re-vamped C. Bloom minor league player development in place!

Both he and JJW get the full benefit.

If he can harness his great stuff and develop control (the toughest thing for a KO artist like Doyle), then he's got all the tools to be that #1.

So glad this is Mo's last year.
Maybe, just maybe the offseason won't be so boring too.

No Brainer.

He pitched in the SEC and was a top 5 pick.

AA is where he should be to start 2026.
