Would be great if we could flip him for something good, but I'm not holding my breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holt_bruce81 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 mlb.com came out with their new top 100...we have 4 players that made the list. #17 - Alex Reyes RHP #36 - Carson Kelly C #53 - Jack Flaherty RHP #65 - Luke Weaver RHP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holt_bruce81 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Top 30... http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2017/?list=stl Interesting that Adolis Garcia didn't make the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he rolls back towards his career averages, they still made out ahead. And my line of thought with Grichuk is that if he's garnering real interest, it's in the same mold. Teams view it was a buy-low candidate. No doubt they did, it was a great move for them. However, Matt Adams had a 4 year period to separate himself and really take hold and run with 1B. He failed to do so on multiple opportunities and continued to struggle in the same aspects over and over... I know the trade piece we got sucked and I think we could have gotten more, but I really can't fault the FO for moving on. At some point you have to. You can't continue a pattern with a player who isn't progressing and hold onto him for 6 years because in the back of your mind you think he might just figure it out someday, not knowing when that day will come... I think we're just starting to come into that period with Grichuk. Plus, with the influx of OF's we have that are MLB ready, it's only going to be harder to justify him over others...

I think they got the top 10 right (I would have them in different order though)... Agree, Garcia not even being in the top 30 is a miss on their part IMO. He's right outside the top ten for me, especially over a guy like Edmundo Sosa, who's fading IMO... I'd have Jordan Hicks and Jonathan Machado higher as well...

coors Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I will be attending my first game at Busch on the 11th of August against my Braves. My sister lives in St Louis now so she invited me down for the game. I've heard great things about Busch, I'm very excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta say I hope it's not typical St. Louis weather that day. Mid August is terrible here. Hot and humid as hell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Wainwright goes to the DL retro to July 23rd. Back stiffness... Weaver scratched from his start tonight and will take Wainwright start... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
