Looking Ahead At The Draft 04/16
During our weekly look at the 2009 MLB Draft, we have looked at Kendal Volz each week. A right-hander from Baylor, Volz seems to be slipping down draft boards as his ERA and walk rate rise.
One of his teammates, Shawn Tolleson (video above) could be a very interesting pick. A once heralded prep whose college [...]
Looking Ahead At the Draft 04/11
In the third episode of our weekly look ahead at the 2009 MLB First Year Player Draft, we find that Arizona State’s Mike Leake continues to dominate the competition. With each passing week, he is the guy I believe the St. Louis Cardinals take if he is still left on the board at number 19.
The [...]
Looking Ahead At the Draft 04/02
Sorry for the late post but I had to get the yard mowed before the rain arrived. Plus, I did my longest run of my life yesterday, 8 miles, and today I can barely move. By the way, this past weekend I ran my second 5K and placed third in my age division shaving three [...]
Looking Ahead at the Draft 03/26/09
Here is our continuing look at local college baseball and players that the St. Louis Cardinals will have an eye on in June’s MLB First Year Player Draft.
The Missouri Tigers look like they are beginning to right their ship after struggling out of the gate. The Tigers did not play the gracious hosts taking two [...]
Looking Ahead at the Draft 03/18/09
Though it is still three months away, I am starting to concentrate more and more on the 2009 MLB First Year Player draft. Thanks to modern technology, I was able to watch quite a bit of college baseball this past weekend. While watching the action, I couldn’t help to wonder who would be prime candidates [...]
Baseball Potpourri Thursday
According to Strauss, the Skip Schumaker experiment might be coming to an end. I guess a fielding percentage of .826 might make the decision a little easier. It also seems that management isn’t to thrilled about the internal canidates.
If the team were to go out and add a second baseman, I say take a look [...]
College Notes and the Raz
Before I get to a look at College Baseball, I wanted to touch on St. Louis Cardinals uber prospect, Colby Rasmus. The number 3 ranked prospect in all of baseball according to Baseball America and number 5 according to John Sickels is struggling early in the spring training schedule.
SEMO Off To Fast Start
It was a cold and wet day at Capaha Field but Zac and I braved the elements and headed out to watch Southeast’s home opener. Okay, we lasted an inning or two. We had watched baseball in the snow and now we can add freezing rain to our list.
Anyway, the Redhawks continue to tote some [...]
First Weekend of College Baseball
Just adding to what Matt talked about earlier today.
Mizzou had a terrible weekend at the Grand Canyon tournament. The Tigers lost three of the four games with ace Kyle Gibson earning the team’s only win. Mizzou fell to number 15 in Baseball America’s Top 25. The team’s hard-throwing sophomores have to step up to solidify [...]

St. Louis area spring baseball options in ‘09
With the economy in the shape it is, finding baseball alternatives in 2009 might help out your budget this year. I know baseball is a very important part of my entertainment budget. I’m a Cardinal season ticket holder and try to get to as many games as possible. However, for me to [...]
Spring Is In The Air, sort of
It might be blissfully cold here in Southeast Missouri but Spring is definitely on the way. The St. Louis Cardinals are in full swing with workouts in Jupiter while the Division I college baseball season kicks off on Friday.
I got a text message from Ian Ostlund earlier this week with his impression of the first [...]

First Weekend of March
Mizzou had a good weekend, winning 3 of 4 at the San Diego tournament. In Sunday’s action, Jacob Priday moved in the fifth place on the Missouri All-Time home run leaderboard. Before the end of the season, he will be number 1. It was a good weekend that should help prepare the Tigers for regional [...]
