I am not as optimistic as the VEB article either. I was just sharing it for a different perspective. Our entire bullpen is a meltdown waiting to happen because of the excessive walks, and I do mean excessive. Sometimes Cabrera, Gallegos, and Reyes can overcome it but there are zero guarantees out there.
It's finally our turn to have an MLB Rehab Start!
Dakota Hudson will be joining the squad on Saturday Night for a scheduled rehab start for the Palm Beach Cardinals.

First McGreevy and now Hudson for Palm Beach. Too bad the beachbirds are 31-66 and probably demoralized. 499 at yesterday’s game.
Minor league baseball is a tough sell. They probably should not even keep up with team wins/losses and standings because they are not worried about winning games they are developing players and pushing them up through the system.
Minor league teams are important in communities where they’re located. Moms and dads take their kids to games and see players up close and personal who might be major leaguers some day. I’ve seen a number of games at Peoria, and it’s great to see how the town supports the Chiefs!
499 at yesterday’s game.
That game was vs. the Marlins squad so the 499 was total fans for both teams as both were in their home park.
cranny I have always liked going to games in Peoria too. Used to take my kids there and Davenport when our team was there.
Have also been to see the Redbirds play in Memphis. Beautiful stadium. One of the best in all the minors. Right downtown.
I haven’t been to but a small handful of games in Memphis. We usually stay at the Peabody and get a room overlooking the park and watch the ducks in the lobby. It’s walking distance to Beale Street and the Rendezvous restaurant. Used to go to Hammons in Springfield until I got screwed over on parking charging MLB close lot prices for a lumpy mudhole 6 blocks away.
I see McFarland and GArcia being brought back next year. I agree with Brian that next year they should sign a number of reclamation guys. The shotgun approach should help middle relief.
I’ve been to Springfield, Peoria and Memphis for minor league games, and very much think all 3 are fine ballparks.
I don’t see many bullpen guys at Memphis or Springfield that could help. Perhaps Santos at Springfield. Maybe starters in waiting like Oviedo, Rondon, Libby, Woodford can help in the major league pen.
Alex Reyes compared to major league closers this season:
8th in appearances
4th in IP
11th in ERA
T-5th in SV %
4th in BA
29th in K/BB ratio
25th in WHIPIf you cut out the command issues, Reyes is fantastic. If you don’t, he’s a stressful closer.#STLFLY #STLCards
