Arizona Fall League

9 Cardinals will be involved with the Peoria Saguaros, writes Derrick Goold.  The persons in question:

AA Coach Pop Warner - has led the AA Cardinals to 73-63 (2007) and 73-60 (2008) records.

High-A LHP Tyler Norrick - 24 years old - Only played in 6 games, starting them all, over two classes (High-A 5 starts and AAA 1 start) this season.  Total of 22 1/3 IP, 20 H, 15 ER, 2 HR, 30 K, and 17 BB.

High-A C Steven Hill - 23 years old - 69 games between rookie ball, High-A ball, and AA ball.  266 ab, 77 hits, 43 runs, 17 homers, 46 rbi, 11 doubles, 3 triples, 14 bb, 73 K, 0 sb attempts.

AA LHP - Justin Fiske - 23 years old - 38 games played, 8 games started, 8 games finished, 1 save (between A ball, High-A ball, and AA ball).  73 IP, 72 hits, 30 ER, 5 HR, 90 K, 34 BB.

AA LHP - Brad Furnish - 23 years old - 28 games played, 23 games started (between High-A ball and AA ball).  131 IP, 119 hits, 67 ER, 14 HR, 86 K, 61 BB.

AA RHP - Adam Ottovino - 22 years old - 23 games started (all at AA).  108 1/3 IP, 129 hits, 66 ER, 15 HR, 92 K, 51 BB.

AA 3B - Brett Wallace - 21 years old - 47 games played (between A and AA), 176 ab, 60 hits, 37 runs, 8 hr, 33 rbi, 11 doubles, 1 triple, 17 BB, 34 K, 0 sb attempts.

AAA SS - Tyler Greene - 24 years old - 120 games (between AA and AAA).  462 ab, 120 hits, 76 runs, 16 hr, 46 rbi, 22 doubles, 4 triples, 28 BB, 128 K, 18 for 24 SB.

AAA OF - Shane Robinson - 23 years old - 98 games (between AA and AAA).  363 ab, 112 hits, 54 runs, 5 hr, 41 rbi, 21 doubles, 3 triples, 21 BB, 56 K, 15 for 22 SB.

 

Looks like Wallace will not be coming to St. Louis.  I, for one, am fine with that.  Josh Phelps can probably do the same in September and not cost a  year of eligibility, or start the arbitration clock early, or anything.

Another notes, Gordon Beckham, the highly touted shortstop out of U. of Georgia, will be starting next to Brett Wallace.  Could be a fun team to watch...if it were on television.

Phelps

I believe Phelps was signed to a one year minor league contract, making him a free agent at the end of the season. He isn’t listed on the Cot’s Contracts site, so I’m not sure.
I don’t think he’s eligible for arbitration.

I’m not sure if that’s what you meant, though. Maybe you meant Phelps is the better call up option compared to Wallace, because arbitration/eligibility aren’t a concern. It could be interpreted either way, I suppose.

Regardless, Phelps is an obvious call up, in my opinion.

Per Bernie today:

Garcia down and Phelps up.
