As the organization finishes another successful year – 1 championship team, 4 other teams in the playoffs – I just wanted to take a moment to thank all the readers this year. I think I can speak for all of the FR contributors when I say that we write because we love the Cardinals organization and we love the interaction. This site boasts some of the best of both those items.
We’re still going through a bit of a transition that continues to be stymied by my day job [/shakes fist in cubicle] but we’re committed to continuing to have the best and brightest minor league coverage available and I think we’ve achieved that again this year without question. We’ll be taking the next couple weeks off but starting on October 4th, we’ll be back with daily posts. The Arizona Fall League starts on October 12th and we’ll be covering that as we have in the past.
Again, thanks for taking the time to stop by. I hope the minor leagues were a little more tangible as a result.

Well done. A fine year of coverage of the Cards minor league system.
I sincerely appreciate everyone’s (writers and commenters) efforts on this site. It is one of the first things I read every morning. The two week down time will be difficult.
Seconded.
I don’t know whether it’s possible, but any ideas for fan posts to fill the void?
Agreed. One of the first sites I check every day during the summer. A lot more fun than reading up on the major league team this summer
me too
thanks for taking this on
I live in another country (Panama). I haven’t seen a Cards game in ages. You are my link to the baseball world and I visit every day. Thanks for allowing me to lurk about and get my Cardinal fixes. Appreciate your efforts. Mike
Love the work you guys do.
All you guys do great work. Thanks!
It’s a great site guys! Thanks for all you do!
Thanks a ton guys! You all are 100% fantastic!
I will agree with all the above, i am getting more out of reading about the minor leagues then the Majors! Are you going to cover the winter leagues?
Thanks for all your hard work, guys. I read this site every day and love finding out more about the future Cards.
Just wanted to add my two cents from up north – fantastic work so that we can keep informed on what’s going down.
Cheers and thanks.
While I’d like to have seen the post-season teams do better, there’s nothing to complain about there; after all, most minor-league teams didn’t REACH the post season. Nyah, nyah, nyah. :-) And this way, some of the players get to the Show, like Descalso and Hamilton.
Speaking of whom, did you see that the Cardinals have released Felipe Lopez? When one door closes, another opens … and with some luck, Dan Descalso or Matt Carpenter will be on the other side of that door.
Great work guys. I love checking out the organizational news each day and each and every one of you provides great coverage of that.
thanks for all the effort you guys do here at future redbirds..love this website and will continue to visit it even through the AFL this year
I appreciate all the effort fellas. Thank you very much.
Oscar Taveras (#4) and Cody Stanley (#14) made the BA list of top 20 prospects in the Appy league. Taveras was one spot ahead of Lil’ Delino DeShields.
The Cards had no prospects in the top 20 at the Gulf Coast League level.
At least Oscar Taveras is getting credit where credit is due.
OF Nick Lonmire is #8 on the Top 20 Baseball America prospects for the NY Penn League. Nobody else listed. Gast and Russell given nice comments in the chat.
Sorry Longmire.
I go along with the others about the good job on the post. Keep uo the good work for all us card fans.
What in the hell has gotten into Pagnozzi?
He’s been eating his Wheaties Fuel.
It’s Oct. 4th!
I wasn’t sure if it’d ever come.
There was an interview that didn’t quite get transposed yet. I’ve got something queued for the 5th though! One more day of waiting.
