Baseball-Intellect: Cardinals Top Prospects of 2011

For those interested, my Cardinals top prospect list. Links are below:

Cardinals Top Prospects, No's 1 - 5

Cardinals Top Prospects, No's 6 - 15

Love Shelby Miller...of the prep pitching prospects from 2010 draft class, he's probably my top guy right now (used to be Turner)...big fan of the ASU pitchers. There are a ton of power arms to fill out the bullpen.

Lance Lynn is interesting...people might be sleeping on him because his numbers are pretty ordinary, but he basically overhauled his mechanics mid-way through last year (which I break down in his report), and those adjustments helped him increase the velocity and life on his fastball. We'll see if he can carry those adjustments over into the season.

Lastly, it seems like this system has improved a great deal in a very short period of time. The full list...
