top prospects: cardinals
astros done. cardinals time.


1. Anthony Reyes, rhp
2. Colby Rasmus, of
3. Tyler Greene, ss
4. Chris Lambert, rhp
5. Mark McCormick, rhp
6. Adam Wainwright, rhp
7. Travis Hanson, 3b
8. Cody Haerther, of
9. Nick Webber, rhp
10. Stuart Pomeranz, rhp


reyes is the only real prospect here. it's the opposite of the astros: a potential star, but no depth.

it's been that way for a while. they developed albert pujols, yadier molina, rick ankiel, but very few role players.

course, if you could develop albert pujols and no one else for a period of five years, you'd take it.

don't tell me you wouldn't.

alright. anthony reyes struck out 102 batters in 74 innings in 2004 in the southern league. and he walked 13. and he gave up 3 home runs. i mean, what? what? are you kidding me?

last year he struck out 136 in 128 innings in triple-a. then he made the majors.

all systems are go. draft him in your fantasy leagues. keep him.

colby rasmus was drafted in 2005. he showed power in rookie ball but had trouble making contact. in case you're wondering, we're into the non-prospects section of the list. it's bad from here on.

tyler greene is a shortstop. he went to georgia tech. he had patience and power in college, but lacked contact. he played a-ball last year, and lacked contact. he's not gonna make it.

wainwright used to be good. or so it seemed. he sure did limit home runs. his stuff wasn't good enough for the upper levels, i guess.

travis hanson played in double-a at 24 and didn't do anything special. that makes him a non-prospect.

the cardinals are lucky they have pujols. otherwise, the future would be grim.
