Cardinals Minor League Spring Training Notebook 3-18-10

Highlights from Thursday’s St. Louis Cardinals minor league spring training games from Jupiter, Florida.

If I remember the story correctly, Cuban outfielder and St. Louis Cardinals surprise draft pick Amaury Cazana Marti made an impression on the club’s front office during a game — an exhibition? — here at Roger Dean Stadium. With the execs in the crowd, Marti crushed a home run that cleared the left-field fence and hit the roof of the Florida Marlins’ two-story office building … or even bounded over it. It was a clout.
