Jesus Baez is a good example of why the Cardinals need to sell as much as they can before the trade deadline passes.

Springfield 1, NW Arkansas 0 ; Top 3rd

Liam Doyle ~ 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K....34 pitches, 22 strikes....long inning for Doyle...26 pitches

Jesus Baez ~ 1-1, HR
Won-bin Cho ~ 1-1, Double
Zach Levenson ~ 1-1, Double.

sorry...if you're results oriented, you say "Doyle looks GREAT"....if the NW Arkansas batters wouldn't swing, they'd have 4 or 5 walks by now.

NW Ark can't lay off the High Cheese for some reason, no matter the count

he did Top 99mph on the fastball with the 2nd K

Paige extends the inning with a flub at 1B...ranging too far to right, should've let his 2B take the grounder

Doyle is getting needed grounders when he has runners on base....escaped two little jams that way

Super excited about Jesus Baez he doesn’t strike out and they have unlocked his power which early on they said he hit too many ground balls and he can play third hopefully he starts at Memphis next season

If Jesus could make a smooth transition to aaa and third base it would be huge.

Yes sir hopefully he transitions as well as he did going from A ball to AA he’s gotten a lot better since moving to Springfield

He has a big arm and good size for a third baseman. But that's just gravy if he can hit with some power consistently. Would love to see an exiting fresh prospect in 28.

Ramon Urias INF begins rehab assignment with Memphis...today

We have signed international free agent C Eduardo Mirabal (Venezuela) to a minor league contract and assigned him to the DSL.

LHP Packy Naughton (AAA) has retired...became official today.

OF Andru Arthur, LHP Yordy Herrera & RHP Alejandro Lóaiza (FCL) have been given their unconditional release.

I couldn't find much on Marabal other than he's 5'9" and 145 lbs.

Looks like org depth juggling with the catchers. Expecting one higher in the depth chart to go in a trade.
