Memphis Redbirds 2012 Review – Cardinals AAA Affiliate

The team finished with a 57-87 record for 3rd place in the Pacific Coast League American North Division. They ended 36 games out of first place behind the Omaha Storm Chasers, a Royals affiliate.

Player Focus-

Eugenio Velez, 2B from San Pedro de Macoris in Venezuela, played in the most games at 136. His line for the season was as follows:

 

Velez was a steady player the showed improvement but will probably be in AAA next season or will be involved in an off-season trade.

 

Pitcher Focus:

Shelby Miller got the most hype going into the season but was passed over a few times by some other pitchers that got the call to the major leagues. Miller led the team in wins this year with 11. Miller is getting a September call-up and will likely stick with the big club in 2013.
