With the demotion of Tyler Greene making room for Felipe Lopez on the St. Louis roster, Tyler Henley hit the DL in Memphis. Henley’s injury seems either self-evident in the numbers he’s posted for 2010 or opportune for a player who is struggling mightily at the plate.

Right Field: The farm system’s next callingPosted by azruavatar in Allen Craig, Joe Mather, Jon Jay, Tyler HenleyEstablishing a starting pitcher appears to be well under way with Jaime Garcia. The minors has produced a handful of players the Cardinals have considered for the hot corner in David Freese, Joe Mather and Allen Craig with the former apparently winning the position. So what’s the next need that will arise? It’s almost certainly right field.

FR Top 20 – Great ExpectationsPosted by azruavatar in Adam Ottavino, Fernando Salas, Lance Lynn, Tyler Henley, Tyler HerronLike mother hens clucking over a prized clutch, we only want the best for the top Cardinal prospects. We’ve seen what happens when things don’t work out as well. Starting with prospects 16 through 20, I’ll cover the highs and lows of what you might see this year.
As many of you know, Tyler Henley was an 8th round pick out of Rice in the 2007 draft. Rice players can be tough signs, but Henley signed for an above slot bonus of $150K and has since made his way onto the FR radar in a major way, ranking as our #16 prospect. For the first half of last season at Palm Beach, Henley hit .313/.370/.531 but broke a finger and landed on the disabled list. When he came off the DL he had a couple of slow months, but he finished the season with a strong .299/.372/.458 line for the month of August. We like him around these parts for his all around solid skill set as a CF, and for his hard-nosed style of play. Henley was nice enough to take some time to answer some of my questions over email. |
