Bullet-pointy thoughts:
- Justin Smith took his K’ing ways from Johnson City up to Batavia. Short season caveats aside, he’s intriguing to me.
- Color me intrigued with Scott Schneider as well, who was July’s organizational pitcher of the month. Schneider carried his success to the Quad Cities as well. He’s mostly a sinker-slider guy
- Daniel Calhoun is one of Liam’s personal cheeseballs. Low walk rate from college carried over to his pro debut. Light on stuff, but a ‘crafty lefty’.
- Eric Fornataro doesn’t miss many bats for someone with a 92-95 MPH fastball.
- The best prospect on this squad is 3rd round pick Joe Kelly. The former college closer’s stuff has yet to catch up with results; he was rather hittable and didn’t really dominate as I would have hoped. That might be expected, as the Cardinals tried him out as a starter for a few games.
- After serving his 50 game suspension, Deryk Hooker’s performance was rather bland.
League averages: 7.9 K/9, 3.3 BB/9 0.4 HR/9, 1.30 WHIP, 3.50 ERA. WHIP and ERA are pretty useless, but whatev.

This is a great series of posts, Erik. Really puts the players and leagues in perspective compared to the (very useful) DFR snapshots.
Thanks for these.
Schneider and Mortensen were near clones their first years with Schneider slightly better at Batavia and Mortensen slightly better at QC. The QC difference was in HR’s allowed with Schneider giving up 1 more in less innings. But, he had a better groundball rate than Mort did at QC so that might be a fluke.
I doubt he’ll jump to AA to start next year as Mort did but Palm Beach would seem logical.
Forgot to add that Schneider is a year younger than Mortensen was at those levels as well.
Kelly’ stuff and results don’t match? Wasn’t that the same story in college? Because it seems to be a trend, I’m not so convinced that will change.
Kelly they were trying as a starter for the first time in his career I believe. He was a closer in college and they this season consisted of the organization trying to stretch him out to 3 or 4 innings a start.
Speaking of “cheeseballs” with ridiculously awesome college peripherals, Jameson Maj is wrapping up his season with the San Angelo Colts with a sterling ERA below 1.
May Calhoun fare better in the Cardinals system… Given our dearth of LHSP, I like his chances quite a bit more.
I also enjoy this type of post – interesting to see everyone together. No one has commented on Lavigne, who has decent all around numbers, except for a high ERA. He is also just 20 years old – worth watching in the future.
Off-topic but of interest. Memphis pitching rotation for the series vs. Sacramento. Tonight is Garcia, Ottavino tomorrow, then MacLane on Friday, Walters on Saturday, and TBA on Sunday. Though thunderstorms are scheduled for Memphis today and tomorrow. Interesting that Ottavino is scheduled to start game 2, instead of Walters who did so in the first round (and got torched).
I’m a fan of Sk8er Boi Tyler Lavigne.
In the past there have been hopes for Derek Hooker. He lost time to a drug suspension, but did ok.
Calhoun and Schneider put up some fine numbers.
Its a nice crop of pitchers to feed to full season teams next season.
