The Cardinal Nation’s Brian Walton is joined by scouting analyst Blake Newberry for a weekly discussion of St. Louis Cardinals news, with a focus on player development and the minor leagues.

Our Wednesday podcasts are quick hitting and timely, covering a short list of current topics in 15-20 minutes. More information on everything we discuss can be found in articles here at The Cardinal Nation.

This week, in the second episode since our return, we discuss the ramifications of the signing of Brandon Crawford as the backup shortstop, touch on STEP Campers appearing in St. Louis games, review the sixth starter candidates and close with the top early favorites for the back end of the bullpen, including Blake’s dark horse pick.

Notes

All episodes of the return of Wednesday With Walton at The Cardinal Nation can be found here.

This is a reboot of Brian’s former podcasts at ScoopsWithDannyMac.com. We will be forever grateful for Dan McLaughlin’s support over the five-plus years we worked together.
