Do all of the Cards 3B heat up in July?

After sluggish starts, it seems that the Cardinals 3B on each level (STL through Palm Beach) are really tearing it up of late (stats from month of July).

Troy Glaus .362 / 7 / 16 / .443 / .783 / 1.226 (AVG/HR/RBI/OBP/SLG/OPS)

David Freese .361 / 4 / 12 / .409 / .623 / 1.032

Allen Craig .404 / 7 / 19 / .448 / .742 / 1.190

Tony Cruz .333 / 1 / 10 / .352 / .529 / .881

Looks to me like the corners of the infield are in good shape for a while (when you include El Hombre and Mr. Wallace on the other side). Do we potentially have a surplus of good 3B talent in the system?

I know it is only 1 month of stats, but for the season their numbers are still looking solid.

Glaus .284 / 18 / 66 / .382 / .517 / .899

Freese .283 / 16 / 54 / .337 / .497 / .834

Craig  .303 / 18 / 70 / .368 / .501 / .869

Cruz .279 / 8 / 58 / .316 / .427 / .743

I also want to note that Cruz isn't really a prospect, but just a coincidence he's also been hot in July?

FWIW

I think we’re still considering the Walrus a 3B, at least for now.

MILB.com has him listed...

at 1st base. I just checked a box score from the River Bandits and he was playing 3rd. I guess that just adds another level of organizational depth at the hot corner.
