This is good news for a very strong St. Louis Cardinals farm system, as it shows promise of good things to come for the organization. The success at the triple-A level is well-known by the Redbird faithful, but the players in the AFL are from lower levels than that, showing talent throughout the organization.
In total, the Cardinals have eight players participating in the AFL. It is split evenly with four pitchers and four hitters. However, it seems as though all of them are finding success in one way or another.
