What, please, is “the Cardinal way”? I would be hard pressed to find a unifying theme that describes the hitting approaches of all of David Freese, Daniel Descalso, Skip Schumaker, Jon Jay, Tyler Greene, etc., yet somehow is distinct from other teams that don’t get to draft the mega-power prospects like Stanton and Heyward. I mean, “have good at-bats, don’t give away outs, make contact” isn’t a hitting approach that’s unique to the Cardinals — although even in that very broad sense, it looks like someone forgot to give at least Greene the message.

I think all this business about “the Cardinal way,” or the Yankee way or the Dodger way or even the Oriole way or the Mariner way, probably means a lot more to the fans than it does to the players. There’s a way that works, and lots of ways that don’t.

Sorry no major league pitching talent that I saw. Didnt catch Jenkins.

That’s a bummer, Lou. Hamels is the guy I’d go after.

Miller, Cox, Jenkins. Ouch.

See ya at the Series.

He meant that Kyle Hald doesn’t have the talent to make it in the majors.

I live outside Philly, and the local sports media seems convinced the Phils will keep Hamels. They have the money to sign him and build a new team around him.

You mean there wasn’t any MLB pitching talent? Or do you not see Garcia and Piscotty as future MLB players?

Made it to the QC games Thursday and Friday….Piscotty looks legit. Also was impressed with Garcia. Slightly old for the league but Juan Castillo looked decent, could potentially make it to the show as a back up catcher.

No Jenkins unfortunately. Hald pitched OK, but there wasn’t any pro talent that I saw. Kinda a weak edition of the QC team.

Maness’ control far exceeds Thompson’s.

Trade doesn’t make sense to me. Kelly is the one rookie who is actually ready to pitch in the majors.

Adams, Cox, Kelly and young A player for Cole Hamels (w/ contract extension)
