Svanson to me, is the best relief prospect we have. And while I like Nunez, Granillo is neck and neck with Edwin. All 3 sure look to have an MLB future. But the best news is with the relievers added they don’t have to be rushed.
Barring injuries, there appears to be a very competitive starting pitchers situation with all 4 full season minor league clubs. As of now, there are way more candidates than spots open.
Memphis should have Kloffenstein, ROM, Robberse, Thompson, Graceffo, Mcgreevy among others.
Springfield should return Roby, Cornwell, and Hence, with Rajcic and Bedell moving up from Peoria. Santos, Hansen and Paniaugua might be in the mix too.
Peoria likely has Hjerpe, Hansen, Paniaugua, Matthews, Rincon among the candidates.
Lin might make Palm Beach team, but more will be the 23 draftees like Savacool, Harrison, Worley. I am hopeful Willis finally stays healthy.
I missed putting Tanner Javobson in my group. He has a very good K rate.

Taveras
Henderson
Lin

Lunn
I meant Benito Garcia. Thanks!!

It’s interesting to note the pitchers from the 2023 draft, who threw little or no innings professionally. Guys like Worley, Harrison, Savacool, etc could leap up the prospect list.

43 Love
44 Santos
I think Lunn may make successful move to the bullpen. He is a 2 pitch pitcher who should add a little velocity there.
December 13, 2023 at 1:04 am in reply to: The Cardinal Nation’s 2024 Top 50 Prospect Countdown #239718I feel like Pages is overrated due to him being added to the 40 man roster. He repeated AA, and had wildly varying months at the plate. I like Bernal as a catching prospect much better. He has a much longer runway.

December 10, 2023 at 2:51 pm in reply to: The Cardinal Nation’s 2024 Top 50 Prospect Countdown #239542I can see Antico as a fourth outfielder/defensive replacement/pinch runner. Plus he has some pop Siani doesn’t have. I just don’t think Siani will hit enough.
36 Fernandez
37 Trent Baker
38 Willis
I somehow didn’t have Antico on my list. He deserves top 30 love. I have always liked him. He’d make an ideal 4th outfielder. Really liked him and Scott in the same lineup, preferably Scott leading off, and Antico hitting second.

December 9, 2023 at 12:45 am in reply to: Trade Ideas/Acquisition Ideas/Non-Cards Rumors – 2021-2023 #239372I don’t understand why the Cards FO continues to prioritize cheap salaries versus previous track record. Most times track records add up to way more consistent results. Brad Hand could have been signed for less than 2 mill with an option for 2024, which ended up being declined.
33 Cornwell
34 Svanson
35 Fernandez
Seems to me Fernandez should follow Svanson, and Garcia is in my top 50 now.
30 Cornwell
31 Paniaugua
32 Svanson
Fernandez has very good stuff according to Baseball America. He just has a checkered injury past. I like their minor league phase additions also. Garcia had an excellent 2023, and had a brief spell at AA to end his season. Good minor league depth added.
27 Cornwell

Well.if Drew Verhagen can get a 2 year deal, anyone can.
