The St. Louis Cardinals minor league season officially ended on Sunday with the Memphis Redbirds losing 8-2 and finishing the season with a 71-78 record. In terms of wins and losses, though, the Redbirds were the worst team in the system, or, at least among the full season affiliates. It was a successful year all around so I want to hit the highlights for each team, including overall record and players who had big seasons.
As I go down through the system, there will be plenty of players who deserve to be recognized but as I don’t want to spend the rest of my life writing this article, I’ll have to gloss over some players who deserve to have more written about them.
