Top 10 Prospects

For my article at Tailgate Crashers, I wrote Top 10 prospect lists for all 30 teams (they'll also be included in my PDF Baseball Annual - more to come on that). Here's what I did for the Cards:

Cardinals
1. Colby Rasmus
2. Brett Wallace
3. Chris Perez
4. Daryl Jones
5. Bryan Anderson
6. Jason Motte
7. Jess Todd
8. Jaime Garcia
9. David Freese
10. Jon Jay

This is the system I know best in baseball; I probably could have done a top 50. They've come a long way since Jeff Luhnow took over the drafts. Rasmus is a star in the making, and Wallace could be too if he can stick at third. My sleeper is Jon Jay; he's a pure centerfielder. He'll stick at a corner though with the Cardinals since Colby's bat profiles more as a corner outfielder.
