Jack has given up 6 ER over his last 6 IP (two starts) and is searching for his first clean sheet since pitching two scoreless innings on 2/23 against Miami.

He's starting the year at Memphis anyway. But yeah, he needs to take a step forward. I've never really bought into the hype. Apparently, he's good against guys who barely belong on a major league bench. But I haven't seen where that translates to anything more than a reliever who doesn't blow you away.

Yes, at some point Flaherty needs to take step forward. But, keep in mind that he's only 22 and all of the MLB time he's had so far came at age 21. He ripped through the high minors last year 4-5 years younger than the average age per league.MinorLeagueGuy wrote:He's starting the year at Memphis anyway. But yeah, he needs to take a step forward.

At age 21, Carlos Martinez had an era over 5 for the Cards. Adam Wainwright still had 2 more seasons in the minors before he got an MLB IP. Weaver had an era close to 6 in his first MLB exposure at age 22. Anyway, Flaherty won't be what he will be yet, but we can afford to be patient with him.

Has Fat pointed out, he's already ahead of schedule. He's gonna be a good one.MinorLeagueGuy wrote:He's starting the year at Memphis anyway. But yeah, he needs to take a step forward.

Fowler-Garcia-Molina-Martinez is not quite as exciting as Fowler-Pham-Carpenter-Ozuna.

It's good to keep in mind how young Flaherty is. But I also think the position the Cardinals have put him in is a little unfair. They should be patient with him, but with question marks around Wacha, Wainwright, and Mikolas plus Reyes' health TBD, it is possible that Flaherty needs to figure out how to pitch in MLB real fast.

Came throwing strikes today. Good on him. He tries to get too fine sometimes, and that's a good way for any pitcher to frustrate me. Good job today. It was a step forward; Schoop has been awesome this spring.

Yeah that final line looks nice. 4IP, 3H, 1R (HR), 1 BB, 6K.MinorLeagueGuy wrote:Came throwing strikes today. Good on him. He tries to get too fine sometimes, and that's a good way for any pitcher to frustrate me. Good job today. It was a step forward; Schoop has been awesome this spring.
This should give him something to build on and maybe finish the spring with a good string of starts.

I will be heading out to the Dodgers spring training complex in about an hour - get to see the Royals/Dodgers game. I will be wearing my Cards gear - yes, I am that guy.
