Various St. Louis media types were recently asked to provide their thoughts for a column in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch about the future of Rick Ankiel as a Cardinal, since the emergence of rookie Colby Rasmus likely means that the free agent will not be re-signed by the team. Honestly I could not care less about [...]

... guy that could put them over the top. That said, right now I’m not sure that there is anyone (save Colby Rasmus) that you really start talking to. Having Wainwright and Molina under wraps for a while gives you some time to focus on development and seeing how the youngsters pan out. If you are two-three years from now, though, I’d expect Rasmus, Jamie Garcia and perhaps a guy...

I found this anecdote from Derrick Goold at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch to be curious. What age is too aged to be a prospect? There is no real answer. The St. Louis Cardinals, as described by farm director Jeff Luhnow, have studied how high-end players — the top-notch, elite, standout prospects — reach the majors in their early 20s, and how they excel because of that. Colby Rasmus, who...
