Mike Maroth Released
According to Brian Walton, Mike Maroth has been released by the St. Louis Cardinals. After a strong start vs. the Mets in his Cardinal’ debut, Maroth really stunk it up. I really think he was hurt, but now it will be someone else’s problem.
Jarrett Hoffpauir was the only Cardinal in action in the Arizona Fall league. Hoff had a hit a walk, and 2 runs scored.
Project Prospect has its Top 75 list out and the Cardinals made a big splash. Colby was rated as the number 2 prospect in all of baseball. Left handed pitcher Jaime Garcia was rated number 64. Bryan Anderson was rated number 66 (of note he was the number 3 rated catcher on the list).
Also in the desert, Blake Dewitt was in the lineup at firstbase. Blake had 3 hits including a double.

Wow, Rasmus #2 overall? That’s pretty impressive and something this system hasn’t seen in a while. It’s still not overflowing, but it’s nice to see some reasonable prospects in the minors.
Not only is he a really good player but he is a good kid as well. I had a chance to talk to him and he was really down to earth. I hope he continues to make strides and becomes an All-Star.
