Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Saturday, December 29, 2012
1) Oscar Taveras, OF, Grade A: One of the easiest grades in the book. Outstanding hitter for power and average, and he improved his baserunning and defense. Next great Cardinals star? Seems like it to me.
2) Shelby Miller, RHP, Grade A: Terrific second half of the season saved his A rating from last year. Still looks like a rotation anchor to me, just needs to stay healthy.
Overall, this is an amazing system, a prospect factory. They find guys at big colleges, they find guys at small colleges, they find guys in junior college, they find and develop high school guys, they find and develop Latin American guys. They do everything.
This is the most effusive praise I’ve ever seen Sickels give a system.

1. esseff Posted: December 30, 2012 at 01:24 AM (#4334492)As a Brewers fan, I really wish Trevor Rosenthal was in some other org.
The Cardinals were ranked #24 in Baseball America's Organization talent rankings in 2011. I haven't subscribed to BA in a while, but at some point this past season I read somewhere how stacked they are now, and couldn't believe it. There must be a heck of story here, and i'd like to read it.
