Prospect ranking season continues leading up to the start of Spring Training, and today’s ranking of the Cardinals’ organization comes from former (and hopefully again, soon) PH8 Podcast guest, Baseball Prospectus’ Kevin Goldstein. The full rankings are subscription only at BP, a subscription that is well worth it. Some player notes: KG ranks Shelby Miller, [...]

Forgive me my Matt Adams fascination and obsession. Can’t get enough of the Cards prospect slugger. Looking forward to seeing what he can do in Memphis. There’s no new information or breaking news here, but it happened so I thought you’d like to see it. As such, here is more Matt Adams video from the [...]

Adams said he obviously hopes to start the season with the big club, making the team out of camp, but understands there are plenty ahead of him and Memphis is [...]

It may be the most wonderful time of the year, but the next week could potentially change a lot in how St. Louis baseball business is done going forward. Any way you choose to view it, the Cardinals are stuck until they figure out who will be manning first base in April. As the Winter [...]

On the morning of January 19th, I started collecting links – as many as I can find with minimal effort – that discuss the Albert Pujols contract discussions. Why? Who knows, yet here they are. Oh, and to serve you all, our three loyal readers! The Daily Pujols certainly won’t be a comprehensive list, but between local, national, and blog [...]
