@MrPlaztastic17 Never

@RedbirdFarmhand Speculation never ever backfires!

The vagueness of minor league injuries returns #STLCards

@BigUncleDoug I could be wrong and he could make the roster

@RedbirdFarmhand Fair just sucks he couldn’t crack opening day

Opening Day Roster Prediction 4.0 (Final Prediction) (3/20/2026) Green- New additions

@BigUncleDoug He can set himself up well if he’s the first call up no matter the position in terms of injury

@BigUncleDoug I would have went 100%. I do think they want to build reps for him in the outfield so doing that consistently in Memphis for a month or so before the eventual call up might be their plan

@BigUncleDoug Fermin not having options hurts Saggese chances as well. They really like Fermin . Saggese will likely be the first guy up

@RedbirdFarmhand I really feel like that shouldn’t tho, I mean Nelson has been hitting really well, but from an argument of him or Fermin. Fermin hasn’t been very good at all this spring but I’m assuming they want Saggese getting daily at bats as compared to Fermin who will just fill a bench spot

@BigUncleDoug Unfortunately going to the WBC kind of hurt him

@RedbirdFarmhand Really sucks Saggese could miss the roster

Redbird Farmhand’s Top 30 Prospects (Part 1) Non-debuts only (my preferred way to do top 30s)

OF Ryan Mitchell became just the third different #STLCards player to hit a Spring Breakout HR, belting a solo blast in his third at-bat. The 18-year-old was the #STLCards 2nd round pick in last year's MLB Draft out of Houston HS in Germantown, Tennessee.

@thomasgauvain Figured I couldn’t leave Florida without posting one

@RedbirdFarmhand I'm just happy we both opted to post a roster prediction at 6 am on a Friday 😂
