After the 2010 season, the United Cardinal Bloggers got together and worked on their first real collaborative document.  Ten of the different members have put together this look back at 2010 from a myriad of different angles.

Probably the best way to interest you in this is just to list off who participated:

Josh Gilliam, Pitchers Hit Eighth
Justin Husley, i70 Baseball
Bill Ivie, i70 Baseball
Tom Knuppel, CardinalsGM
Erika Lynn, Cardinal Diamond Diaries
Tim McCullough, Future Redbirds
Matt “Pip” Philip, Fungoes
Daniel Shoptaw, C70 At The Bat
Steve Sommer, Play A Hard 9
Angela Weinhold, Cardinal Diamond Diaries

As you can see, that’s a load of Cardinal goodness right there.  Along with these articles, we have player capsules, with stats of what they did last year and their projected roles for 2011.

So click on the link below and either save it for reading later or get cozy and read through all 46 pages at one shot.  Either way, you’ll enjoy!

The Year In Cardinal Baseball

Last year, the UCB was contacted by Derrick Goold for a little help on a project of his, ranking the top 7 prospects in the Cardinal organization.

We liked doing it so much we stole the idea right from under his nose.  (OK, he knew about it and will be doing his summary after the Cards are done playing this year.)  Below, you can find the links to everyone that is participating and a table is provided to give a summary of the picks.  Keep checking back as more entries are posted.

Enjoy this look at the farm system and see what you agree with!

Note: Most of these rankings were done before the news came down about Wagner Mateo’s potential eye issue, so keep that in mind.
