Holy cow!

Eddie Degerman's numbers are mind boggling.

Rasmus is 3 for last 33. Not panicking. Just saying.

Thanks Pagodi!!!

When are the Cardinals going to start moving some of their low A pitchers up?

True or false.
1. Perez is completly awsome.
2. Sean Danielson is a prospect.
3. Nick Webber may still be a useful pitcher.
4. Garceau is this years Garcia

True or false.
1. Perez is completly awsome.

TRUE

2. Sean Danielson is a prospect.

FALSE

3. Nick Webber may still be a useful pitcher.

TRUE

4. Garceau is this years Garcia

FALSE, but he is very good

Rasmus is in a serious slump.

A good reminder not to get ahead of ourselves with these prospects. Just when we think they're ready for the big time they remind us that they are still quite human and quite a ways from being slumproof (i.e. Albert Pujols.)

I have the same question. I'm pretty sure they're going to have to replace Hearne now, but they may do that by moving Kyle McClellan into the rotation instead of promoting someone.

True or false.
1. Perez is completly awsome.

90% of the time he is. He has some rare blowups that have me worried.

2. Sean Danielson is a prospect.

I'm going to say false. I love his speed, but I can't get past his size (5'8") and the poor year he had last year. If someone wants to tell me why I'm wrong, I'd love to hear it.

3. Nick Webber may still be a useful pitcher.

I'd say true here. It's pretty clear he won't work as a starter, but he can be a late innings reliever.

4. Garceau is this years Garcia

I think Tyler Herron is more likely to be this year's Garcia. Garceau throws harder than either of the other two, but I've read that his delivery probably won't allow him to be as consistently good as Garcia has been.

I bet everyone wishes their slumps were .800 OPS
