Miller, Martinez, Rosenthal, Swagerty, and Siegrist…man the future of Cardinals pitching is bright!

That’s not even including the likes of Gast, Jenkins, and Cleto either.

Spot-on about Swagerty, JB. Five hits allowed, all singles. Eight K’s, zero BB’s, and a 5-0 groundout/flyout ratio. Sure, it’s just Pitcher’s Paradise Palm Beach, but the S & S boys (Swagerty and Siegrist) are doing great at age-appropriate 21. (I love that when Swagerty was faced with 2nd and 3rd, one out, he fanned the next two hitters.)

Carlos Martinez? Three hits, also all singles, more strikeouts than innings–again–and twice as many groundouts as air outs. (In fact, given his excellent GB/FB ratio in combo with his other skills/performances, you could easily make the argument that Martinez is ahead of where Shelby M. was 12 months ago…which is REALLY sayin’ something.)

On a non-pitching note, 16-year-old shortstop Leobaldo Pina is holding his own in the DSL so far, with a line of .266/.351/.281, a solid 8/12 BB/K ratio, and 4-for-4 swiping bases. No power, obviously, but for a 6′ 2″ stringbean he’s doing just fine (twice as many DP’s as errors, too). He’s one to keep an eye on. ;)

even with Wong in the fold, anyone notice that Danny Stienstra, 6ft 3, 200 lb 1b, is playing 2nd base in our system? seems the TLR method of finding middle infielders is gravitating to the lower clubs.

They’re not even the best in their league. They have 1.087 and .941 OPS in 453 AB while San Antonio has two guys with 1.052 and 1.007 with over 50 AB more and have a 3rd guy not too far off right just behind Castellanos in OPS and a 4th just behind him or 4 of the Texas League Top 11 OPS’
