BREAKING NEWS: Brandon Crawford has been fired from the team of St. Louis Cardinals today due to……..Read More..
Throughout this time at WashU, he appeared in 38 games, starting 36 of them for a career pitching record of 18-5 with two saves. He struck out 287 batters, putting him third all-time, according to the university.
According to head baseball coach Pat Bloom, the Bears have had two previous draft picks, the first-ever from WashU was John Herzing in 1967, who was drafted in the 8th round. Then, in 1997, Russ Chambliss was drafted in the 54th round by the Yankees.
Loutos is only the fourth player in WashU baseball history to receive a MLB contract, according to the university.
Yung Gravy is swapping his microphone for a baseball bat—at least for one day.
The St. Louis Cardinals signed the multi-platinum artist to a one-day contract, bringing a touch of Hip-Hop flair to Busch Stadium.
The St. Louis Cardinals are headed in the right direction, but they’re not out of the storm just yet. They still sit in third place in the NL Central, but they’re only seven games back. To make up this ground, they need to be aggressive at filling the holes on their roster.
One of the biggest holes on the Cards roster is in the bullpen. While St. Louis has good pieces in the bullpen, as a whole, their bullpen ranks seventh worst in the MLB in ERA. The solution to this problem is found on the trade market and it could very well be with the aggressively selling Miami Marlins.
A trade like this is as simple as Tanner Scott for a pitching prospect in the middle of the team’s top 30 prospects. Scott is just a rental for the Cardinals, so he wouldn’t merit multiple prospects or a top prospect.
Kloffenstein is no slouch though, ranked 16th in the St. Louis farm system. He’s shown the ability to get hitters out in a multitude of ways. His pitch aresenal is pretty developed and his command is improving. Pair him in the Marlins system that’s loaded with young pitching talent and he could blossom.
