You don’t call up one of your best prospects for just five weeks, no reason to start Wallace’s service time sooner than needed. If anyone is going to fill in for Glaus, it very well might be someone already on the 40. David Freese is a good possibility given that he has little left to prove in AAA at and he’ll be 26 at the end of April.
I’m doing a community project with the good people at Beyond the Boxscore, and when I take away 125 plate appearances and give them to Freese, the Cards still have 88 win talent. If he’s out for much longer than that, it could spell trouble.
I meant to have this up earlier, Polldaddy was playing games with me.
This is where things got tricky for me. After the first four, there are a lot of pluses and minuses for each prospect, and it feels like you can shake the names up, spill them out and leave them where they land and probably be OK.
#4 was a much closer race, with Jones winning by a fairly comfortable margin with Anderson and Motte splitting the votes for 2nd.
Alright. We’ve have officially ranked out 2009 prospects. For that matter, so has John Sickels, Kevin Goldstein and Baseball America. It is now you, the Future Redbirds reader’s turn. I figured the first two were no-brainers. Now comes the tricky part – who’s next? This is a deep class of prospects this year, and you can make a lot of arguments after the top two. The majority rules this time, as we open up the voting now.
