For our first project of 2010, we take a look back at the last decade, picking out who the top Cardinals were at each position.  While many picks may be the same, there should be just enough differences to make it easily worth your while to click on all the below.

The United Cardinal Bloggers gather for the last time this decade (whatever you want to call this decade) with their top stories of the year.  2009 had a lot of great story lines to choose from, so be sure to read through the contributing blog posts.

One of the trademarks of the United Cardinal Bloggers is our regular e-mail roundtables, which we then post to let those outside the loop see what we are thinking. This year, the number of participants is down, but not the quality of responses. Keep checking back here as we add transcripts for the next week or so!

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.
