MLB Parent Club: St. Louis Cardinals
2010 record: 75-65
2011 manager: Luis Aguayo (second season)
Outlook: The Cardinals, who share their ballpark with Jupiter, will feature a pair of top prospects on Opening Day, most notably right-hander Shelby Miller. The Houston native is MLB.com's No. 20 prospect and was a 2010 Futures Game All-Star and the Cardinals' Minor League Pitcher of the Year. He went 7-5 with a 3.62 ERA and 104 strikeouts over 104 1/3 innings at Class A Quad Cities. Arkansas product Zack Cox was the Cards' first-round pick last June and appeared briefly as a third baseman in the Gulf Coast League and the Arizona Fall League, where he was named a Rising Star. The roster also features 16 members of last year's Class A squad, including All-Stars D'Marcus Ingram, an outfielder with speed, and right-hander Eric Fornataro.
