Springfield Cardinals
2009 record: 71-69, First-half North Division champs
2010 manager: Ron "Pop" Warner
What's on deck: Warner enters his 20th season in the Cardinals system and fourth as Springfield skipper. ... 1B Curt Smith hit well at Class A Advanced Palm Beach last year, enough to earn a 24-game stint with Springfield, where he batted .308. He could get further seasoning at Double-A this spring. ... Former first-round pick SS Peter Kozma will look to prove himself again in 2010. ... Speedy CF Adron Chambers led Palm Beach with 127 hits and 21 steals, positioning himself to be a leadoff candidate for Springfield. ... 23-year-old RHP Blake King struggled in three Texas League appearances last season, but he's already proven himself at Palm Beach (9-3, 2.84 ERA, 96K in 76 IP), so expect him to assume a bullpen role with the Cards.
