Not So Hot Sheet
Robert Stock, c, Cardinals. Catching everyday is tough. If he didn't realize it before, then Stock is receiving a crash course on the subject with low Class A Quad Cities. The 20-year-old just completed an 0-for-14 week, with six strikeouts, in which his on-base percentage registered at .143, thanks to a pair of walks. Stock has two extra-base hits this season to go with a .171 average.

Casey Mulligan, rhp, Cardinals. We first mentioned Mulligan, a converted catcher who's taken to a move to the mound, in a pair of Daily Dishes last year. One was for his dominating stats while the other was for his homage to Thriller during a rain delay. Mulligan's stuff isn't overwhelming (low 90s fastball and a solid curveball), but his feel for pitching has left Florida State League hitters baffled. Mulligan's calling card is his ability to change arm angles. He'll get to two strikes with an overhand delivery, then drop down sidearm to sneak by strike three. Mulligan has yet to allow a run this year and he's struck out 23 batters in 12 innings.
