Minor League Cardinals
In this crazy world of ours, where nuclear war could break out at any moment, one must be ready for the worst at all times. Baseball is no different, and if any team should be doing as many duck-and-cover drills as infield drills, it’s the Cardinals. This is part of the deal when you stock […]

The Cardinals’ release of veteran non-roster invitees Alex Cora and Koyie Hill on Sunday wasn’t the type of transaction that jumps off the computer screen at you, but it was another signal of how the organization has changed in recent years. Five years ago, and perhaps even more recently, Cora and/or Hill probably would have […]

What was initially described as an open competition has now become a two-man fight to see who locks up second base for the Cardinals. Incumbent Skip Schumaker may have been the long shot all along, but another setback all but guarantees St. Louis will again have a new face manning the spot on Opening Day. […]
There are many tall tales and myths circulating about Matt Adams. I thought it necessary to set the record straight. I’ll begin by debunking some of the more ridiculous notions. Adams never played quarterback for the Colts under the alias “Peyton Manning”. He may or may not have done so as “Curtis Painter” or “Jim […]

Cardinals fans, even those on the realistic side, can’t help but hope – or perhaps even expect – that former first-round pick Shelby Miller will graduate to the majors by next April and become the next great St. Louis pitcher. Miller, who made his 2012 Spring Training debut Wednesday, is sculpted like the ideal right-handed […]

Didn’t we just finish one of these epic United Cardinal Bloggers roundtable projects? That pesky World Series has just compressed this off-season completely, huh? With all of the other great discussions going on, I decided to ask a bit about the team’s long-held belief in a “Cardinal Way.” Ask Google about “Cardinal Way” and you’ll […]

[Update 04/13: Added a handful of major league player accounts and some team stadium staff.] [Update 02/24: Added a large number of additional minor league accounts and a couple more team personnel.] [Update 02/23: I have confirmed that the account we had listed for Cardinals Farm Director John Vuch was not accurate and it has […]
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 […]
Matt Adams was the first subjected to the media room this morning, and he addressed moving forward into 2012 building on his successful 2011 campaign. 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 […]
