Most projections have Descalso holding pace from last year and performing a tick better. My personal line for him comes out to .276/.339/.391 as I think 2010 was probably about as good as we can expect from him. I’m n the minority there as the next closest projection still has .017 wOBA points on me — about 6 runs over the course of a season.

Same as last time. I’ll run the results on Thursday night. Assume Descalso spends the whole season in Memphis.

Matt Bakers covers the S-Cards for the Springfield News-Leader, and has stepped right in where Kary Booher has left off in putting together some great coverage for the team. You just don’t get the sort of coverage he brings from most AA teams, and he was kind enough to take some time out of his schedule and answer some of my questions about the team and his impressions of the players.

2B/SS Jose Martinez came into the season with lofty expectations after a breakout season in AA, where he hit .300/.337/.472 over 412 at bats. Baseball America ranked him the Cardinal’s 17th best prospect heading into 2008, and Kevin Goldstein went as far as to rank him the Cards’ 7th best prospect.
Disappointingly, things haven’t worked out as well as we had hoped for Jose going into the year. He’s been one of the Texas League’s least productive hitters with a horrendously bad .598 OPS, the league’s worst among qualified batters. So what’s the story?

In our third installment of the Prospects by Position series we look at a position that has been a weak point of development for the Cardinals (unless you really like Bo Hart) in recent years. Adam Kennedy came up through the Cardinals system and he was a useful 2B for the Angels for a few years, although he was mostly a shortstop until his second year at AAA. Otherwise the Cardinals system has been (and still is) pretty thin at second base. Currently they’ve got a guy in AAA that many of us would like to see playing in St. Louis and then there are a whole bunch of question marks. The rundown of all the second basemen is after the jump.
