Graceffo is doing his best Jacob DeGrom impression so far. He, McGreevy and Liberatore have a shot to be a very solid 1-2-3 for many years ahead.
Graceoff’s numbers just beats out McGreevy’s…. both have been spectacular. I can’t wait when their spots in the rotation come up. I’m pretty sure that McGreevy will get a promotion first but Graceoff should make Springfield also. The SprgCards can’t wait.
Paniagua and Moreno can take their places at Peoria. All in all the organizational pitching is looking a lot better than in ’21.
Strong hitting performances in the #stlcards system in April were prevalent. In a normal month, Nolan Gorman may have won, but Moisés Gómez topped our #1 prospect with a .412 BA, 11 HR (tied with Gorman for the most in MiLB), and an OPS over 1.400.

This is Gomez’s second season at AA but he is putting up crazy numbers and carrying the Sprf-Cards. If Gorman had his #s he might be in STL already.

Great for Cornwell! It’s exciting to have a new pitching prospect who has come from off the radar. I didn’t know anything about him when he was drafted. Hopefully, the Cardinals can keep improving him.
The Cardinal Nation agrees that 1B Malcom Nunez is June's Hitter of the Month across the #STLCards system. @bt_newberry goes much further, with comparative stats on nine finalists. Encouragingly, 3 of the top 4 in OPS were at Double-A Springfield. (free) https://t.co/zogpLoT9LM pic.twitter.com/yHO4LpBCT4

In a close competition between two of 11 finalists, the Cardinal Nation’s choice as the top hitter in the #STLCards system during July is outfielder Patrick Romeri, who parlayed his success into a promotion from Palm Beach to Peoria. (free) https://t.co/4Op1rL3EEH pic.twitter.com/2Z7PKaPHRw

The Cardinals have a tie for Player of the Month between Chase Pinder and Patrick Romeri. They made Inohan Paniagua Pitcher of the Month over Hence.
From among 12 finalists, is The Cardinal Nation’s choice as the top pitcher in the #STLCards system during August the rookie ball starter with a 0.00 ERA or the late-inning reliever with tremendous results? (free) https://t.co/qt6TNlz7FE pic.twitter.com/P7m5uZGSU1

In a virtual landslide, The Cardinal Nation’s choice as the top hitter in the #STLCards system during August is Springfield outfielder Matt Koperniak , who bested seven other finalists with his 1.091 OPS. (free) https://t.co/vXYZg3KPjV pic.twitter.com/lAS5GN644y

Koperniak has given himself a chance to become a big leaguer with his solid performance this year. Does anyone know if the Cards have had any players from Britain on their team in recent years?
Though their ERAs were among the “highest” of a very good group, starters Jose Davila (Palm Beach) and Zane Mills (Peoria) still registered stellar ERAs under 2.00.
These are the two that I was looking at for Aug. But if I had to pick one…. it would be Baker.
The Cardinals agree with our picks as they select Koperniak and Marrero as their Player and Pitcher of the Month, respectively.
Cardinals Name Koperniak and Marrero Top August Minor Leaguers
I continue tô detest the term “player” of the month. Pitchers are players also. Not just this site that uses the term. Alternatives? Position player of the month or even hitter of the month since that is really what it is. I dont think Brian hás ever cited defensive stats when discussing who won and why.
