With regular-season action underway for the full-season 2013 clubs, it is time for another refresh of the St. Louis Cardinals system roster matrix. This version reflects the changes made from the conclusion of 2013 spring training through the beginning of the regular season and extended spring training until the draft and the start of short-season action in June. The previous matrix reflects the rosters as they evolved from when spring training invitations were issued through the end of camp. If you are new to the blog and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary: At the time of this posting, the St. Louis Cardinals had 246 players under contract from top to bottom, including 38 players on the 40-man roster and one more on the 60-day disabled list. The matrix places each one at his assigned level in the system by position and is updated daily or whenever transactions occur. Extended spring training camp invitees are shown in separate groups by the level at which they completed 2012. Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization. Dont be concerned about the order of the players names within a team. It doesnt signify anything. The players on the 40-man roster are designated in bold .

Thanks for the new matrix, Brian. Ive already used it to look at the 3B situation in the event Wisdom forces the org to promote him. Any official word on Jackson shipping out? Log in to Reply

Brian Walton says: April 8, 2013 at 9:43 am

You are welcome. Ildemaro Vargas has been playing a little 3B as well. No official word yet on Jackson (and the dominoes that will follow), but it would be a major upset if someone else goes down to Memphis.

The Cardinals officially activate 3B David Freese and option IF Ryan Jackson to Triple-A Memphis. (Details reflected above.) Log in to Reply

This quote from a Strauss article on Shelby (referring to the first half of 2012 when he got hammered at Memphis): He loved his fastball and refused to let off-speed pitches encroach on the relationship. There were those in the Cardinals clubhouse who classified him as a pitching Rasmus, not a compliment.

Disagree.About a young player who needed to grow up. Log in to Reply

crdswmn says: April 9, 2013 at 12:00 pm

Dont agree about the young player part, but Strauss definitely needs to grow up. Leaving town would be a better alternative to about 80-90% of the fan base. Heck, even from.

some of his media colleagues would like to give him a bus ticket back to wherever he came

Strauss is a hack. Log in to Reply

Nope, that 10-20 % dont. But I suspect most of them have not experienced the totality that is Strauss douchebaggery. Log in to Reply

WestCoastbirdWatcher says:

This is a very weak position counselor. . Strauss gives much inside info with his off hand observations .. You should be paying attention .if you value the truth. The guy was already promoted because of it. on jabbing.

Theyre liable to kick him all the way upstairs if he keeps

Their center fielder really stinks. ha ha. Very happy with Garcias performance. Hope he can go 7 IP. Also, good to see Chris Carp suited up and in the dugout. Warrior. Log in to Reply

Brian Walton says: April 8, 2013 at 5:11 pm

Very good movement on Garcias pitches. Carpenter received the loudest pre-game ovation and took off his cap when shaking the hands of the Hall of Famers. Log in to Reply

Down by 9 in the 9th Robinson didnt try to hit a 10 run homer. Took the walk. He is looking better and better as a bat off the bench. Log in to Reply

Rosenthal was probably pumped up, so the rookie allowed a tie run in the 8th. The 9th was impressively bad. I guess we miss Jason Motte and there are going to be some growing pains to come. Log in to Reply

The Kozmanator had a brain freeze on that play to home. Then he let it get to him and booted a gimme. Being a phenom day in and day out is hard work. He needs a day off. Log in to Reply
