Sunday, the St. Louis Cardinals invite bloggers to the stadium as a thank you for their partnership and a way to promote the goings on at the stadium. We got a nice little meet and greet with various staff members, tasting different foods from the stadium, and experience a game from a luxury box.

It makes most sense to start with Adam Wainwright when examining results thus far. I must admit, I was left scratching my head a little bit when Wainwright’s extension was announced… it seemed a year or two too long, and last year was good but not great.

The two standouts that the St. Louis Cardinals have thus far this season are young players: Matt Carpenter and Matt Adams. Both lead the team in WAR and are effective hitters, if not amazing ones.
It is too early to say just how amazing, but look at this: Matt Adams leads the team with 3 home runs and is just destroying the ball. I could list his God-like power numbers or wRC+, but it’s pointless. The guy is just off to a great start. Matt Carpenter has seen a lot more playing time and we can derive more info from it: his updated ZiPS projection is 3 WAR and he leads the team in batting average. Him being able to hold his own at second base as well as play third base with some at times flashy defense make him a very excellent player. Is he the next Ben Zobrist? I certainly hope so!

It’s prospect season again. I’ve had my rankings listed on team pages, but have been horrible about keeping those up to date. As I mentioned on the pages, I’m looking at other rankings when I make mine (along with scouting reports and my own opinion). Next up, the St. Louis Cardinals.

Like every year at this time, the United Cardinal Bloggers have their “Top 7 Cardinal Prospect” project. While I don’t participate in all of the projects, this is my favorite. It’s a jump start on prospect ranking.
Granted, my list will change by the time I do my official list next spring, but it’s still a fun exercise.
