He can hit minor league pitching and play defense. Which is more than you can say for Skip Schumaker.

hey, I'm not defending Skip. I'm as baffled as the rest of us as to why he gets all this leeway. We all assume because Tony likes him, but who knows. I wish they would have made Skip the 4th outfielder at least and got a legit 2B but I'm not the GM...yet.

Actually, most prospects at least get a fair shake and an attempt to prove their muster. Tony's incessant meddling in the lineup causes guys to bounce back and forth between Memphis and never get a rhythm. On top of that, they are never given extended starting play to see if they can get in a groove at the big league level.
Greene had 104 ABs last year between multiple trips up and down and a September callup.

Some of the people who got more ABs for the Cardinals in 2010:
Randy Winn Pedro Feliz Aaron Miles Nick Stavinoha Here's the best stat, though. Schumaker was 3rd on the team in ABs.

Tony LaRussa is a product of Walt Jocketty and Dave Duncan.

I think 104 AB's at the major league club should give you a chance to show your stuff.

on this we can agree. His constant tinkering is a detterment, not an addition to production.

When you are getting 6-7 ABs a week, you can't get into a rhythm. LaRussa never allows his young players 20-30 consecutive ABs to get in a groove at the plate. He's too much of a meddling dickhead.

Here's what I heard from my uncle who's friends with a Cardinals minor league coach..... not a lot different from the other rumors out there, but I'd thought I'd share anyway,
All the scuttlebutt among the minor league coaches is that the Cardinals are offering $30 million a year for 7 years or a $300 million lifetime contract that continues on with the Cardinals organization after his playing time is done.
