Minor League Updates (9/9) ~ Cards System

speaking of Padilla...

I'm calling out all publications that will list Hjerpe higher than Padilla, probably Hence and Roby, too.....Padilla is a generational talent. He hit @17yo in the FCL..stateside. That's insane, and his season was derailed by injury in late June with a few weeks left in the season. The speed, the glove, the arm, and then the hit caught up to those. He takes a ton of pitches....he's grown a hell of lot, up to 6'4"-6'5" now. The power may get there or not....but I don't think it'll matter.

Do you know the nature of Padilla injury? I realize the team errors on the side of caution with young guys and injuries. Concerning that he hasn’t played since June. Thanks in advance.

IIRC...it was a HBP...he was hit a lot in the FCL, and missed a few games on several occasions after a HBP. I think that's how it went down. I hope it wasn't a leg injury...nothing major.

Forgive my foggy memory

I know Torres is no youngster, and is small in stature, but come on! All this guy does is get on base, and play several defensive positions! The Cardinals would rather bring in guys like Hampson, than give this guy a chance. I just don’t get it!

No kidding. The guy can play. Give him a shot!
