System in 20 Words or Less: From the outside, this system looks like Shelby Miller and the rest, but it's a bit better than that. Five-Star Prospects 1. Shelby Miller, RHP Three-Star Prospects 2. Tyrell Jenkins, RHP 3. Carlos Martinez, RHP 4. Zack Cox, 3B 5. Lance Lynn, RHP 6. Eduardo Sanchez, RHP 7. Oscar Taveras, OF 8. Matt Carpenter, 3B 9. Seth Blair, RHP Two-Star Prospects 10. Adron Chambers, OF 11. Jordan Swagerty, RHP Nine More: 12. Daniel Descalso, 2B: There's nothing sexy about Descalso, but there's also no reason he can't be a second-division starter. 13. Maikel Cleto, RHP: A raw arm acquired in the Brendan Ryan trade, Cleto's armed with huge velocity but little else. 14. Joe Kelly, RHP: Kelly throws hard, but scouts project him as a reliever, and his secondary stuff is lacking. 15. Allen Craig, 1B/OF/3B?: Craig has consistently posted good stats in the minors, but with no defensive skills, he might be a Quad-A type. 16. Tony Cruz, C: An unheralded catcher, Cruz has gap power and a plus-plus arm. 17. Nick Longmire, OF: A fifth-round pick who showed all-around tools in his pro debut, Longmire could move up next year. 18. Tommy Pham, OF: Pham is an ultra-toolsy player who showed some real progress in 2010. 19. Adam Reifer, RHP: This power reliever throws hard and throws strikes, but he needs a second pitch. 20. Scott Gorgen, RHP: The opposite of Reifer, Gorgen mixes pitches extremely well but has a middle-relief ceiling. 1. Shelby Miller, RHP DOB: 10/10/90 Height/Weight: 6-3/195 Bats/Throws: R/R Drafted/Signed: First round, 2009, Brownwood HS (TX) 2010 Stats: 3.62 ERA (104.1-97-33-140) at Low-A (24 G) Best/Worst Tool: Fastball/changeup Year in Review: The Cardinals' first-round pick in 2009 gained consistency as the season wore on, and was the Midwest League's top arm by the end of the year. The Good: Miller has the potential to be an upper-tier starter with dominant stuff. His fastball is already there, sitting at 93-95 mph and touching 97, and he already flashes plenty of plus curveballs in every outing. He has an ideal power pitcher's build, as well as an ideal power-pitcher makeup, with a nearly robotic approach to pitching. The Bad: Miller has occasional command issues, and when he misses, he misses up in the zone. He gets tighter spin on his curve when he throws it as a true power pitch, but he takes something off it too often. His changeup is still below average, but he does show a feel for it. Ephemera: Miller had a bizarre home/road split in 2010, with a 6.47 ERA at home (despite striking out 60 in 40 1/3 innings), but a 1.83 mark on the road. Perfect World Projection: He could be a star-level starting pitcher. Fantasy Impact: The ERA, WHIP, and strikeouts should all be of high quality. Path to the Big Leagues: Miller will likely begin 2011 at High-A Palm Beach, but with his second-half surge, he's an excellent breakout candidate who could accelerate his development path. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=12763 --
