The 18-year-old Gorman was the first player born in the 2000s to be drafted. He's known for his power potential and won multiple home run derbies in high school.

Gorman will report to the rookie-ball affiliate Johnson City Cardinals on Wednesday.

They finally draft some high school power talent. :-)

Doesn稚 matter if it works out in 4 years. Keep drafting and eventually you will get a power bat.

Holland struggles continue

Greg Holland blew a save at AAA Memphis on Monday, allowing three earned runs in an inning pitched. Holland is on the 10-day disabled list with a right hip impingement and has made three rehab appearances in Memphis.

"He was still not at that point where we can find a place for him," President of Baseball Operations John Mozeliak said.

You think Mo? :-)

You wanna bet he gets activated by the end of the week anyway?

the Cardinals got $50 million extra this year. Since they didn’t use that to buy good FA’s, how about using the money to write off the failed FA contracts? Move on. Addition by subtraction. Give our young talent a chance.

Martinez continuing with the hot bat.

So what is the deal with this Poncedeleon kid that we called up today? Other than the fact that he was almost killed one year ago.
[Reply]

welll you know he’s got to be one tough dude mentally to almost die and get right back out there without any drop off in performance. Looks like he has a last 10 games 2.41 ERA. Gots to be better than Ceicel.

Fowler -- if he is in the lineup Tuesday -- would step into the batter's box as one of the worst regularly-appearing hitters in the majors this season.

Of the league's 159 qualifying hitters, he ranks 157th in average (.173), 148th in on-base percentage (.276) and 157th in slugging percentage (.286).

The switch-hitter is now slashing .191/.287/.329 against righthanded pitching. Against southpaws, he's worse, slashing .091/.225/.091.

Damn, that痴 a big punch in the gut.


Cardinals starting pitcher Alex Reyes told reporters Tuesday his one-year-old daughter is battling cancer.

Reyes, who recently found out he will miss the rest of the season with a torn tendon in his right shoulder, said his daughter Aleyka was diagnosed with the disease when she was five months old.

This dude need to be getting splinters from riding the pine.

And Heyward's line so far this year is .281/.339/.421. Ouch.
[Reply]

Fuck Heyturd

Yeah, it really sucks that the Cards are getting more WAR from a cost-controlled Harrison Bader (1.0) than the Cubs are getting from Jason Heyward (0.9 WAR) at $23 million.

I hate baseball right now.
