[...] the system at the Globe-Democrat. Lance Lynn continues to look overrated to me in most rankings. (FR rankings here.) Adam Ottavino is one I might have been a bit too down on as the early outings for Ott in spring [...]

thanks for the interesting series on ranking Cardinals minor leaguers.

Sanchez is fascinating, hope Daryl Jones can have a healthy 2010 and show why he is a top 5 prospect.

I love the pitching depth. Although pitching depth is more of a question mark than position player depth, it yields much higher rewards if it pans out in both value to the big club and trade chips.

Sad day for McCormick. Injuries really set him back. I always had an outside hope that he gain enough control to be a shut down reliever, maybe closer. Of course I’ve also have that same hope for Chris Perez, Jason Motte, Francisco Samuel, Adam Reifer, Casey Mulligan, etc. etc.

Great series, guys. Really well done.

I was surprised that you guys found so much in common about your picks in such a mixed bag of prospects. I would have expected more variation. The rankings seemed very thoughtful. I’m looking forward to seeing where these guys go in the new season.

The more I look at this list the more I realize that you could justify ranking Sanchez number one. He’s got the tools, he’s young for his level, he’s proven something at a higher pro level and the Cards will (do) need a closer. I’ve always thought of him as a number five type prospect in a weak system but he could have the highes close to immediate impact of anyone in the system.

That kris bryant kid’s swing reminds me of ludwick’s(though the angle wasn’t great)

i’d like to be sure, if we draft a power bat, that he can stick in left field or third base
