    A little disapointed in the placements. Not one position player is starting higher than I would have had them penciled in in the off season. Lott was iffy for Spfld só he night be the only one. Pitchers is probably the same but not as familiar with them só I can be as sure.

    Fletcher not making PB is really disapointing.

    Do people remember how bad the won loss Record of our system was last year? One of the Wiest ever. Will this year be different?

    Perez starting for Springfield is a surprise. I’d guess Spangenburger got his AAA spot. Zeuch has 7 Ks so far. Everything is down that he throws.

    Memphis should do OKish. The rest I think will be pretty bad, but it would be hard to be that bad again.

    I think prospects like Baker should play every day. He’d be my DH and play a little first. Barring injuries, I’ve never been in favor of playing non prospects. I think Memphis has a chance to have a strong lineup with good pitching.

    I was disappointed that Darlin Moquete didn’t make Palm Beach out of camp. He had two hits today down in Jupiter. Great numbers in the minors, even tho they were rookie league and DSL. Maybe he will get called up if he continues to do well at extended spring training. Injuries do happen!

    The sheer number of pitchers on each of the 4 teams rosters is amazing, and would seem problematic for getting enough innings for everyone. Are these rosters set in stone, or are there players that will be put on injured lists?

    There are IL moves coming at every level. I have some, but not all. Will share when I get them. Yes, the extended spring training players are candidates for openings in Palm Beach.

    None of the 5 pitchers used by Memphis was by the Cardinals. 4 of the 5 came from other organizations. 3 of 5 have Major league experience.

    Burleson just seems like our future DH. Yepez could be too. It’s good to have some talented hitting prospects in the pipeline.

    Milb’s stats calculator hás a glitch. It shows Donovan with a single in 4 PA and a .500 OPS and DeLuzio with a single in 3 PA and an OPS of .667.

    CC, those figures are correct.

    Donovan – .250/.250/.250/.500
    DeLuzio – .333/.333/.333/.667

    The most loaded rosters in the Minors
    April 7th, 2022 – by Jonathan Mayo
    7. Memphis Redbirds (Triple-A, St. Louis Cardinals)
    Prospects: 2B Nolan Gorman (No. 2, MLB No. 33), LHP Matthew Liberatore (No. 3, MLB No. 43), C Ivan Herrera (No. 4), 1B Juan Yepez (No. 6), LHP Zack Thompson (No. 9), OF Alec Burleson (No. 10), INF Brendan Donovan (No. 12), RHP Angel Rondon (No. 14), 1B Luken Baker (No. 17), LHP Connor Thomas (No. 20), RHP Jake Walsh (No. 30)

    The Gorman-Liberatore combination is reason enough to put Memphis on the list, with the two best friends originally from the Arizona high school ranks joining forces. But this is also a deep roster, with 11 of the organization’s Top 30 on it, and while the Cardinals are a middle-of-the-pack farm system, they always do a terrific job of producing big leaguer

    Connor Lunn is starting for Springfield tonight. Peoria is washed out. Inohan Paniagua gets the ball for Palm Beach.

    Watching Escobar and Brettell pitch for Springfield tonight was torture. Springfield’s pitching still looks like trash.

    Springfield may be doomed to a similar ’21 finish. The rotation is nearly the same… not too much to brag about. There’s a couple of guys that can stroke but mostly a bunch of guys that need to improve this season or else.
