The St. Louis Cardinals, ranked as the #1 organization in baseball by Baseball America, have announced the preliminary 25-man roster that will take the field for their long awaited return to the Peoria Chiefs in the 2013 season. The roster includes seven players who have been drafted in the first 10 rounds, 11 2012 draftees, 11 players ranked in the top 10 in their positions in the organization by Baseball America and three Illinois natives. The current roster includes 26 players so there will be at least one roster move before Thursday's home opener at 6:30 p.m. against Wisconsin. Full Roster PDF.
There’s a lot of baseball to be played over the next five months, but at least on paper the Peoria Chiefs’ return to the St. Louis Cardinals farm system has yielded quite the harvest.
