Nagowski? Really? I like his OBP but that is about it. Is he some kind of defensive whiz? I thought maybe at least he batted LH but is a RH bat like Voit. I realize the Cards might have been forced to send a 1B but still.
I assume this means we signed him as minor league FA for next year.
I am going to have a harder time this year ranking the 2017 draftees. I think it is because so many unheralded guys are having good seasons (especially pitchers).
It is true the Cards have added no one to the big league roster from outside the organization this year.
Someone has been stupidly good – Ramon Santos at PB. But Gomber has been as well. They each may have one start left this month.
I think if Alcantra is actually being groomed for the pen this season, he should be in Memphis within a couple of days.
Maybe, but i would say Voit emerged this year and the Cardinals have shown they really dont want a 1B only guy on the bench.
You could also add Piscotty, Gyrko and Martinez as being ahead of him as well.
He may want to return to where he had success (Memphis) or he may want to look for more opportunity.
I’d say ML free agents re-signing with the same team is the exception.
I dont see Ravello as even staying in the org. Unless put on what is an already crowded 40 man roster he will be a minor league FA. With Voit and Carpenter ahead of him not sure why he would come back as a minor league FA.
Not trying to be contentious but a guy might be an everyday starter for 20 games and not cut it. Is he considered a starter? Is a guy that sees 10 games in the bigs as a bench player never to be heard from again considered to have made it as a bench player?
If it is up to me, I non tender him. If he wants to sign for 3/9 with incentives for games finished I’d talk.
Define “starter” and “bench”. How long does a player have to be in that situation to count?
I read the post above without noting who posted it. When I got to Voit as ” starter” I already knew. Lol
Scott Hurst is 11-12 starting with his last two AB’s on 8/18. That has raised his BA about 40 points in 4 days.

1. If Oquendo is that sensative as to get upset over one disagreement in philosophy, maybe he is not the man some think he is.
2. I never thought Oquendo was a particularly good decision maker as a 3rd base coach.
