No Cardinals are participating in Saturday’s AFL Home Run Derby.

Heads up for your weekend TV viewing plans. Sunday's Arizona Fall League Fall Stars Game has been moved up four hours, from 6 pm MST (local time) to 2 pm MST. Likely avoiding conflict with potential Game 7 of the World Series Sunday night. pic.twitter.com/9SUvNULEf8

Assuming the market knows Walker and Winn are off limits, Tink Hence will likely be the 1st name out of other GM’s mouths in trade talks this off-season.
Salt River lost to Peoria in Wednesday Arizona Fall League action. Pedro Pages was the only #STLCards player in the starting lineup and went 0-for-3, reached on a throwing error and walked. Tink Hence pitched a scoreless inning out of the bullpen. (free) https://t.co/lMgxsblEya pic.twitter.com/oqGqVImdBZ

Three #STLCards prospects in tonight's starting lineup for Salt River at Mesa. SS Masyn Winn leading off. RF Jordan Walker batting third and CF Mike Antico hitting seventh. pic.twitter.com/VpFG1EQ4su

Before the game, I asked Antico about his power, so I am taking credit for the long ball.
😉Salt River was walked off by Mesa in AFL action Thursday night. #stlcards CF Mike Antico hit his third AFL HR, walked twice and stole a base. Jordan Walker (RBI) and Masyn Winn (steal) had two hits apiece and Ryan Loutos had a perfect IP with 3 Ks. (free) https://t.co/dLMGXcAmsJ pic.twitter.com/EASrUk2wxl

Four Cardinals, as I predicted. Walker, Winn, Thomas and Hence. Strong showing.
Tink Hence (STL) and Antonio Menendez (TB) have been added as active participants to the Arizona Fall League roster! #AFL22

In this afternoon's Salt River AFL game at Surprise, three #stlcards prospects are starting. Batting 2nd is SS Masyn Winn, CF Jordan Walker at cleanup and C Pedro Pages batting 7th. pic.twitter.com/dr7gD0naZH

Sorry, Brian. It was the wrong Pages that someone passed along. They made a mistake. They saw Pages and thought it was a Cardinal. It was actually Andy Pages.
Funny you should mention Pedro. For some reason, in two different stadiums so far, they are pronouncing his name backwards – PAY-haas instead of PAH-hays.

Good at bat by Walker. Gets behind on the count 0-2 and takes 4 straight balls without biting. Nice plate discipline.
Salt River lost to Surprise in Friday AFL action. #stlcards C prospect Pedro Pages singled, doubled and drove in one. Jordan Walker was 0-for-2 with two walks and a run scored. Masyn Winn was 0-for-5 with three strikeouts. Mike Antico pinch ran. (free) https://t.co/8ewgEp9etu pic.twitter.com/U0HADTo5y2

Loutos hás pitched like an all star
He has, and he has some swing and miss, which I understand Mo is looking for. It would be something to see a Division 3 guy make it to the show. Hopefully he can spend most of next year in AAA, but my hunch he will be up fairly early once guys start hitting the IL or peppering the backstop.
One more reason to watch Sunday afternoon's Arizona Fall League Fall Stars Game is that #STLCards LHP prospect Connor Thomas is the starting pitcher for the NL team. The 24-year-old leads the AFL with 31 strikeouts (in 22 2/3 innings) against just four walks and has a 1.59 ERA. pic.twitter.com/g0yeZ0dSwZ

We like our 6-12 guy with 5.47 ERA and 1.570 WHIP better than our 12-4 guy with 4.31 ERA and 1.172 WHIP.
Meanwhile, there is a good chance we will hit opening day with a rotation consisting of zero guys drafted and developed in house. We’ll see what happens I guess.

I realize that there’s very little chance to convince you otherwise, but Parsons’ 2022 was entirely smoke and mirrors. His previous two full year ERAs were over 5, and had he not run an insanely low batting average on balls in play (his .200 mark is about 15% lower than the MLB best mark this year for any pitcher), he would have been in the same position with Memphis. I’m glad he had a solid year, but there’s a much greater chance that those two switch positions next year in the stat line than that they remain in the same place.
