1) Jon Bravo
2) Jon Edwards
3) Tommy Pham
4) Donovan Solano

3. C Rasmus
4. P Kozma
5. B Wallace
my not the obvious list
1. Edwards
2. Reifer
3. Pham

I think all of these guys MIGHT make it, not should, and it will be great fun to see them when they do.
Also, great idea for a post!

motte
has only 11 IP in the majors, still a prospect. although he probably will be on the 25 man roster when the season starts barring injury or the inability to throw anything but a 95-97 mph 4-seam fastball (hopefully he developed a slider or at least a cutter before spring training starts)

My Fave Five
1) Allen Craig
2) Matt Pagnozzi
3) Fernando Salas
4) Adam Reifer
5) Niko Vasquez
Patiently awaiting the day Colby Rasmus does this: .275/.381/.551/.932, 29HR, in St. Louis...Oh yeah, and by the way....BEN SHEETS!!!!!
I think you get to define who's your favorite
maybe you just have a hunch about some players, maybe you like who they are, maybe you just look at their stats.

Have been Cardinals, but not everyday...
1) Essix Snead (out of 188 times reaching base by BB or H, he stole 109 bases and was caught 35 other times in 2000)
2) Stubby Clapp (hit .302 with .392 OBP in 2002)
3) Jimmy Journell (career 3.02 ERA and 1.25 whip)
4) Adam Kennedy (1999 SS who hit .305 – where could THAT guy be)
5) Kevin Witt (2004 .306 ba, .345 obp, .945 ops, 36 hr, 107 rbi)
While I was looking through...
minors.baseball-reference.com to find stats and names of former favorites, it was rather bizarre the ages of the majority of the AAA players on the Cardinals in the 90’s and early 00’s. A lot of 28-30 year old players. But it does explain why the farm teams were nothing spectacular then.
faves
1. Daryl Jones- Reminds me of my favorite Cardinal, Ray Lankford.
2. Joe Mather- What’s not to like?
3. Jon Edwards- The next Bombs.
4. David Freese- Loves the Cardinals, we love him. Joe Crede?
5. Mark McCormick- A lot of people would have chosen amputation by now.
Josh Kinney wrestled a bear once.
Freese, Mather, Wallace, Rasmus, Jay

My favorite
is all the Latin American prospects under 21.
Those Pilgrims ain't lookin' so proud now...
My top 5 non-Cardinals...
1. Phillippe Aumont
2. Madison Bumgarner
3. Delios Guerra
4. Travis Snider
5. Loek Van Mil
hmmmm
Rasmus
Freese
Wallace
Jones
Walters (gotta have one pitcher in there, but he needs to work on limiting BBs if he wants to break the rotation this year sometime down the road…..when piniero falters or carp gets injured and the cards realize they should of gotten ben sheets…course he could be injured too by that time…..)

Perdomo was...
left unprotected by the Cardinals and became a Rule V draft pick and is not with the club anymore as long as he stays on the 25 man roster of the Giants.
oh wait
forget it, it was crybaby worrell

yeah
I also had forgotten about that until I posted that…. should be interesting who they send over there… I’m guessing it will probably be an outfielder, which could be a really bad thing…

Does Mather still count?
1. Tyler Greene
2. Lance Lynn
3. Clayton Mortenson
4. Tommy Pham
5. Sam Freeman

My old-school favs
1. Paul Coleman (largely due to his kick-ass Topps #1 draft pick baseball card)
2. Mike Milchin (drafted as a pitcher but Whitey kept saying we should just make him a hitter…)
3. Rod Brewer (always thought he should’ve gotten a serious look)
4. Paul Ellis (power hitting catcher)
5. Basil Shabazz (loved the name)
6. Darond Stovall (St Louis kid…)
1. Jess Todd
2. Lance Lynn (high, high hopes)
3. PJ Walters
4. Clayton Mortensen (rejected from so damn many trades in my dynasty league that I just started to like him)
5. And of course, Matt Wieters
Space.
It's a problem we face.
So we never go anywhere.
We just stay in one place.
We do in my heart.
