I think Jeff Luhnow has done tremendous things with the farm system and bringing the Cardinals forward into the statistical age of baseball. I have a very strong suspicion that the Cardinals (and other clubs) have reliable, advanced metrics on catcher’s defense that simply are beyond what has been developed in the public domain. That said. . . oooff! . . .
Great to see Matt Pagnozzi with a strong game at Busch. He’s a perfect example of why the organization values strong catch and throw skills
I think Pagnozzi’s defense is largely overrated. He’s got a good arm but he struggles with balls in the dirt from what I’ve seen. He’s an average defender; more importantly, he’s a terrible hitter even for a catcher. Unless his bat takes a quantum leap forward, he shouldn’t be anywhere near the big club, today’s effort notwithstanding. Part of Luhnow’s job is to be positive about the minors in the press and while I appreciate the opportunity to praise an individual, I’m perturbed by reading what appears to be organizational philosophy that results in bad players coming up at certain positions.
Poor Bryan Anderson.

The test of a Cardinal pitching prospect’s mettle is Double-A. The Texas League. Hammons Field. If you can just avoid getting beat up here, you have a good chance.
League average K/9 6.4, BB/9 3.6, HR/9 0.7, H/9 9.2, ERA 4.22.

- Eduardo Sanchez. Who saw this coming?
- Lance Lynn, King of Ordinary. Nice ERA, but league average peripherals other than that he did a great job keeping the ball in the yard. I mean King of Ordinary in a nice way.
- Unless Francisco Samuel is the second coming of Mitch Williams, I wouldn’t get too worked up about his chances. We knew about his spotty control, but wow. 23.3% of the batters he faced were put on by Samuel beating himself, either by the BB or the HPB.
- Eddie Degerman, King of Weird. Great college stats, quirky delivery, didn’t work out.
