Azruavatar did a great job below taking a look at what he thinks will happen once the calendar turns to September and the minor league teams all end their season.  The Cardinals only have two healthy minor league pitchers on their 40 man roster and considering how the Cardinals head honcho, Tony LaRussa uses pitchers, I expect more than Dickson and Cleto to be promoted in September.  After the jump, let’s look at candidates to be dropped off the 40-man and who could be brought on.

The Cardinals 40-man roster currently stands at 42 including 60-Day DL residents Eduardo Sanchez and Adam Wainwright. (Aside: Nervous that there hasn’t been more news on Sanchez? Me too.) With September looming, the Cardinals will have active rosters expanding and the ability to move beyond the current 25-man constraints.

Memphis isn’t completely out of the post-season hunt yet (4 games back of first place w/ 7 left to play) but there season is rapidly closing and the Cardinals will have the chance to call  up some players. The candidates are almost certainly going to be players already on the 40-man roster as September would be an unusual time of the year to try and clear someone on waivers.

Who is likely to get a callup?

All five teams that played tonight won. Shelby Miller was at least one member of the Holy Triumvirate of Cardinal Pitching Prospects to grace us with a stellar performance on a night when all three took the mound. Details anyone?
