The United Cardinal Bloggers’ September project is to have each blogger list his/her top 7 prospects. I’m not Future Redbirds prospect guru, but I do follow the minors some. That being said here’s my list:
- Shelby Miller – Duh! Consensus organization #1.
- Zach Cox – This slot was the hardest to fill out. I think Cox can probably be a 3-4 WAR guy in fairly short order, and the floor for him is probably 2 WAR quickly.
- Matt Carpenter – Just produces. I’d project him for ~1.5-2 WAR next year if they Cards thrust him into the big league third base job next year.
- Eduardo Sanchez – The system just keeps banging out RH relievers.
- Lance Lynn – League average innings are a good thing. Hopefully Lynn will be able to provide them in the near future so the big club doesn’t have to do any more mid-season dumpster dives.
- Dan Descalso – Might be redundant considering #2 and #3, but he could offer an alternative to Skip as soon as next year
- Carlos Matias – Going completely on upside and word of mouth here.
Just missed the cut: Bryan Anderson, Adron Chambers, Adam Ottavino, Mark Hamilton
I’m not convinced I didn’t miss someone big, so feel free to leave your criticisms in the comments

SO far, Anderson has not been so hot in the Big Show. And wasn’t he one of the “untouchable” Faberge Eggs Moluhnow had?
He has 26 PAs in MLB. Clearly we can’t draw any conclusions from that. He’s put up a good line in AAA at 23 and plays a premium position. There’s value in that.
I thumbs you down, sir.
