2010 record: 82-62, American Northern champs
2011 manager: Chris Maloney (fifth season)
Outlook: Maloney begins the season with 979 wins, so he'll be eager to put some in the books as the Redbirds try to repeat their success of 2010. Lance Lynn spent the 2010 season at Memphis with 13 wins and a 4.77 ERA, putting himself in line for some more time with the 'Birds. Eduardo Sanchez, a 2010 Futures Gamer, reached Triple-A last season but should see more time there this summer after striking out 58 batters in 53 innings of relief at two levels. Third baseman Matt Carpenter saw success at Class A Advanced Palm Beach and Double-A Springfield, earning a look from St. Louis in Jupiter this spring. He should see time at Memphis after batting .309 last year.
