Episode 7: A New Broom Sweeps Clean

There's been a lot of broomwork lately with the Cardinals and Daniel and John are here to talk about it.  They first recap the last couple of weeks of games, starting with the end of a Pirates sweep, then sweeps by the Astros and Rangers, before St. Louis finally sweeps the Cubs.  The latter series gets a lot of the attention, though the guys discuss some of the issues from that disastrous homestand and the ability to now believe the Redbirds can play with the best teams in the league.

In the Up The Middle segment, the recent Memphis exchanges were discussed, most notably the return of Kolten Wong to play centerfield.  Was he rushed back?  Was there enough data to really make a decision?  What does this mean for Tommy Pham, who also got a promotion to the big leagues?

 

John goes through some of the draft signings before diving into the short-season rosters while Daniel deals with issues around the house.  There are a lot of good players to be keeping an eye on during the next couple of months and John has you a solid list.  The latest start for Alex Reyes and the season-ending injury to Nick Plummer also get some discussion.

 

In the last segment, the guys answer Twitter questions and John unveils his latest Top 5 Prospects List, so be sure to stick around until the end!
