My Top Seven Cardinal Prospects


My first overall prospect pick is the tall Texan Shelby Miller. This first round prospect throws his fast-balls up to 90-92mph. In 2010 he spent time with the Quad Cities River Bandits where his record was 7-2 with a 3.62 ERA. He pitched 104.1 innings and gave up 54 hits and 7 home runs. Shelby is projected to make the major league team in 2013. He is currently 19 and shows a lot of promise in being a part of a five man rotation with the St.Louis Cardinals. With a lot of time and patience this free and easy pitcher will be a dominate force in the Cardinal rotation in the near future.


                                                                                 
My second prospect is 2009's Cardinals Organizational Pitcher of the Year Lance Lynn, after going up three levels during his first year with the Cardinals Minor League System. Lance is also projected to join the big team in 2013. While with the Memphis Redbirds this year(2010) he had a 13-10 record with a 4.77 ERA. He pitched 164 innings and had a whip of 1.378. Lance is a mover and shows a lot of upside. Look for him soon in the rotation.


                                                                                
My third prospect is Daryl Jones, a fast wheeling outfielder I would love to see playing in the bigs pretty soon. An exciting player to watch that has old fashion speed. Whitey Herzog would love Daryl Jones. He has above average contact and will hit to right center. Still needs to work on arm strength and defensive footwork. He would make a good Left-fielder.
