Another one bites the dust.

Unproven talent, especially pitching talent, has a very high attrition rate before becoming a rotation regular in MLB.

Even proven pitching talent gets injured. His career isn’t over

Unproven talent, especially pitching talent, has a very high attrition rate before becoming a rotation regular in MLB.

That's why you try to accumulate as much of it as possible.

....and it won't be the last.

Why teams are more willing to trade pitchers than positional talent.

Now it starts ..

[cardstatman]

Zack Thompson had an arthroscopic surgery on his throwing shoulder in August, described as “a cleanup procedure.” The recovery from this surgery has delayed Thompson’s mound work at the start of Spring Training, though he is playing catch and planning to ramp up his throwing.

It seems like this means Thompson will begin the 2026 season on the injured list, though the fact that he hasn’t already been put on the 60-day IL is perhaps a good sign.

He’s not on the 60 day because he’s not on the 40 man.

Didn’t Ixan Herdandez pitch at AA last year? I’m guessing the Cards were planning for him to pitch at MEM this year, and not in STL.
