Memphis off
Springfield vs. Frisco: Matt Pearce
Palm Beach at Fort Myers: Ryan Helsley
Peoria at Cedar Rapids (day): Mike O’Reilly
State College off
Johnson City vs. Elizabethton: Jacob Schlesener
GCL Cards at Marlins: Kevin Hamann
DSL Cards vs. Rockies: Jose MorenoI know he’s only been in Peoria a couple of months but you have to move O’Reilly up.
Game score today? 104! I repeat – 104!According to BA, the highest minor league game score in 2016 was 97
https://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/list-top-10-starts-minor-league-pitchers-2016/Helsley goes 6 1/3 and gives up 1 hit. Having a rough year, though.
ERA of 2.79 after having a 1.61
in 2016 at Peoria over 17 starts. Cards moving the 2015 4th round pick verrrrry slowly.With Weaver getting sent back to AAA, who do the Cardinals promote after the All Star break? Siegrist doesn’t seem ok with Derek’s report of decreased velocity.

He’s given up 66 hits in 84 innings and struck out 79. WHIP of 1.10.
That doesn’t seem very egregious to me.
My vote for replacing Weaver is Mark Montgomery.
2016 – Memphis – 45 1/3 IP, 30 H, 9 BB, 53 K, 0.86 WHIP, 2.18 ERA
This would let Duke get a few more AAA innings and Siegrist get his velocity back.
Montgomery was once heralded as the next David Robertson when he was in the Yankees organization. He always had control issues there, but seems to have gotten a better grasp on it this year in Memphis. He’s a big slider guy with a 91-92 MPH fastball. His lingering shoulder injuries should give us pause though to ever counting on him long-term (much like Siegrist)
Interestingly, we only picked him up out of necessity when Rosenthal went down at the beginning of the year and Tuivailala got called up. At that time, we needed someone to fill his bullpen spot in AAA.
