Derrick Goold of the Post has been "moon lighting" this past year writing the St Louis Cards notes for Baseball America. He also is taking part in BA's top 30 prospects for the Cards that is due out shortly.

If you want to get a preview of it, check out Derrick's Blog - Birdland

Some interesting comments and followup.

The community at the scout.com message boards did a Cardinal prospect list as well, going up to 50, started by yours truly. There were a few people who took part in the voting who see all of the games at a certain level, so I feel like it is one of the better community lists. The only issue with it is that we started the list before the season ended so guys like Kinney and Cate are underranked. Another bad thing about starting a list in-season is certain players can go on a hot streak which would influence the voting. This is the reason why Edwards is ranked so high. Here it is...

1. Colby Rasmus
2. Blake Hawksworth
3. Bryan Anderson
4. Jaime Garcia
5. Adam Ottavino
6. Chris Narveson
7. Stuart Pomeranz
8. Jonathan Edwards
9. Chris Lambert
10. Mitch Boggs
11. Cody Haerther
12. Tyler Greene
13. Mark McCormick
14. Nick Stavinoha
15. Jonathan Jay
16. Christopher Perez
17. Tyler Herron
18. Mark Hamilton
19. Brendan Ryan
20. Blake King
21. Randy Roth
22. Daryl Jones
23. Mark Worrell
24. Jose Martinez
25. Josh Kinney
26. Isa Garcia
27. Gary Daley
28. Tyler Norrick
29. Eddie Degerman
30. Skip Schumaker
31. Mike Parisi
32. Cory Meacham
33. Adam Daniels
34. Nick Webber
35. Trey Hearne
36. Mike Sillman
37. Andy Cavazos
38. Eric Haberer
39. Amaury Marti
40. Brad Furnish
41. Troy Cate
42. Rick Ankiel
43. Dennis Dove
44. Shane Robinson
45. Christian Reyes
46. Matthew Lane
47. Thomas Pham
48. Juan Lucena
49. Jarrett Hoffpauir
50. Donovan Solano

Thanks!
Some of the "usual suspects" but in
a slightly different order.

Pagnozzi as best defensive catcher caught
me off guard a little, but it shouldn't have.

And if Brendan Ryan is the best defensive infielder,
then we'll have to keep an eye on him this year.
