http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=7203 Team Health Reports:St. Louis Cardinals -by Will Carroll The Facts Head Trainer: Barry Weinberg Player Days Lost: 1,025 Dollars Lost: $19.45 million Three-Year Rank: 19 The Cardinals don't like being mid-pack in anything, so coming up with a 19th overall ranking and a 2007 finish almost directly in the middle can't feel good for Barry Weinberg and his staff. That said, credit and blame are often tough to pin down, so the Cardinals bear a closer look. First, the Cardinals have been willing to take more (and bigger) risks, especially on pitchers. This is largely due to the type of pitcher that coach Dave Duncan is successful with, but this also leads to some failures. But while someone like Matt Clement might end up being a drag on their 2008 stats, the Cardinals also haven't been able to keep the players they've had a couple years healthy. Last season's numbers were dragged down by injuries to Chris Carpenter and Mark Mulder much more than any new fix-it project for Duncan. It's also a problem judging whether or not the team was "successful" with players like Jim Edmonds and Scott Rolen, who are talented, but require a lot of maintenance work just to keep them out on the field. Pushing them aside would seem to help, but Troy Glaus isn't exactly Mr. Durable at third base. Instead, we find a mixed bag there and not much to hang credit or blame on. Familiarity doesn't seem to change things when it comes to the results of longtime athletic Trainer and La Russa sidekick Barry Weinberg. ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 養傷的養傷，還在場上的不是未爆彈就是不期不待... ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=7204 Future Shock:Organizational Rankings, Part 2 -by Kevin Goldstein 1. Tampa Bay Rays 2. Oakland Athletics 3. Texas Rangers 4. Boston Red Sox 5. Los Angels Dodgers 6. New York Yankees 7. Cincinnati Reds 8. Atlanta Braves 9. Colorado Rockies 10. Baltimore Orioles 11. Los Angels Angels 12. San Diego Padres 13. Milwaukee Brewers 14. Washinton Nationals 15. St. Louis Cardinals Last Year's Ranking: 27 Why They're Up: Colby Rasmus emerged as one of the top power/speed prospects in the game; 2006 draftees Chris Perez and Adam Ottavino shone in their full- season debuts; catcher Bryan Anderson raked at Double-A as a 20-year-old; older prospects like Joe Mather and Jarrett Hoffpauir took big steps forward. Strengths: More up-the-middle prospects than most, with Rasmus, Anderson, and middle infielders like Jose Martinez and '07 first-round pick Peter Kozma; a good number of quality arms at Double-A or higher. Weaknesses: Their pitching has depth but lacks a high-ceiling starter; not much speed and athleticism after Rasmus. Outlook for 2009 Ranking: It depends. If Rasmus gets enough big-league playing time to lose eligibility, their ranking will go down because there's no other elite prospect in the system, nor a player capable of making a step forward into the Top 10. ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 只有Raz能看...希望他真的能夠成為大物 --
