Do you really want to talk about your track record of Cardinal player predictions?

McGreevy would do well to be a reliable number 3.

"McGreevy would do well to be a reliable number 3". I agree. Now Doyle 1 and Mathews 2. I'm concerned about Mathews's velocity. By the way, just having some fun with the predictions and comps. Other posters shouldn't take my musings so seriously. I don't. LOL

If McGreevy's ceiling is a 3 or 4. What are Liberatore's and Pallante's ceiling? About the same, maybe?

I've been more concerned lately about where Pallante's floor is. He has been in free-fall for awhile.

What I'm liking about McGreevy. Is his consistency. He seems like the most consistent starter the Cardinals have, right now. Including Gray.

He is streaky. I guess that's why he's a 5. I think McGreevy is a 4ish type guy. What you see is what you get. He's the same guy he was in AA only with better command.

On a serious team, McGreevy is a #3 at best. On a John Mozeliak roster, he might be a #1 or 2. That's where this organization is with talent. The arrogance jackass wrecked a team that was annually playoff bound.

Yeah, his slider looks really good and I think he should use it more often. I know it's hard on the arm though.

McGreevy should have been in the rotation a couple months ago. Maybe the Cardinals record would be a lot different.
So basically you’re asking, “will the Cardinals one day have someone be an ace at some point in the future?”…I sure as hell hope so. Maybe a good hitter too.
