Most Hyped RHP Prospects Of The Past 20 Years

Pitching prospects are an inherently volatile group, one with more cautionary tales than success stories, but the type of impact that a highly touted young hurler can have on an organization’s long-term outlook cannot be overstated.

Dodgers Are Among Several Teams Pursuing Josh Donaldson

The general managers meetings, the first of Major League Baseball’s two offseason summits, began this week. It will double as the ignition for a rumor mill that, based on the last few years, could extend into spring training. Minor moves will be made. Negotiations for bigger deals will get underway. Most will be drawn out over the winter.

How Cautious Is Too Cautious For The Cardinals' Young Pitchers?

Having grown up watching baseball in an era when pitchers throwing complete games was almost a given, it’s sometimes strange to watch how closely the Cardinals (and every other team) monitor innings pitched for their staff.

Michael Wacha's Has Been The Cardinals' MVP

While most 23-year-olds are finding a job, or finding their way in life, Michael Wacha is finding out what it takes to compete in the major leagues. The game of baseball brings many pressures, and the St. Louis Cardinals right-hander has handled the ups and downs of his first three seasons in the majors with uncommon grace for a young star.

Carlos Martinez Primed For Stardom In 2015

Another installment in the Cardinals’ seemingly never-ending supply of promising young arms, Martinez will open Grapefruit League play with the opportunity to cement a spot in St. Louis’ rotation for the first time. He struggled in a brief turn as a starter in 2014, posting a 4.45 ERA over seven outings in June and July. But Martinez is still only 23, comes with a huge prospect pedigree and a potentially devastating fastball-slider combination, and pitches for an organization that seems to have a magic tough with young arms.

Cardinals Making Right Decision With Michael Wacha

I love this quote from Cardinals pitching coach Derek Lilliquist about Michael Wacha: "I don't see any reason why there is the buzz about the workload. He had 170 innings last year. You can think he could be a 200-inning guy this year. At the end of the day we need some guys who can give us 200 innings."
