ST. LOUIS • Less than 10 days ago, Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak skipped to Peoria to see the play of the club’s lowest full-season affiliate. The Chiefs had a treat for him.
In the outfield, together for the first time all season that day, May 9, were three of the Cardinals’ youngest and top position prospects. Combined, their ages total 57. In right, stood second-round pick Bruce Denton, age 19, and manning center was first-round pick Nick Plummer, age 20. Out in left, well, that’s where the youngest of them all, 18-year-old switching-hitting Dylan Carlson, played.
