Lefthander to Watch – Dalton Moats
I attended the 16 yr old (Juniors only) showcase (players had to be invited) that was hosted by PerfectGame at Terry Park in Fort Myers, Florida this week. I came away impress with some players that could really “bring it”. The most impressive, to me, on Wednesday was a left handed hurler from the Kansas City area Dalton Moats.
Dalton faced nine batters and threw mainly in the 83-85 MPH range and reached 87 one time. He was able to use his changeup at 70-71 MPH to keep hitters fooled. He struck out all nine batters he faced. A smooth delivery he is able to hide his pitches very well. Appears that he is a thinker on the mound as he never grooved a 1ball 2 strike pitch and always kept the at bat in his favor.
He was invited back on Friday as one of the better pitchers and kept pace very well. Most of the pitchers of the day appeared not as prepared to throw at 8AM in the morning. Moats gave up a bloop single and then fanned the other three to close out the only inning he was asked to pitch in.
Keep your eyes peeled for this youngster as he progresses forward.

Is there such a thing as a ROOGY?
I know the LOOGY part. Why do we not hear of the other?
Too many righthanders out there? That is all I can muster as a guess.
Any thoughts on that?
NYC
This CardinalsGM writer and his wife and 2 adult children are heading to Gotham next week. It is in our plans to see the Yankees/Twins game on wednesday afternoon and Mets/Cards on Friday night. Since this is the last year for the stadiums we are excited about attending.
Outside of baseball does anyone have any advice as to other things that are “shouldn’t miss” while there? We plan to see “Jersey Boys” on Broadway. We have tickets the “Who wants to be a Millionaire” and are looking for other things to release some of our money on.
Restaurants are a mystery to me but am sure it will all come together. We plan a meal at ESPNZone at least once.
We are staying at Grand Hyatt at Grand Central Station. Any thoughts or bits of wisdom?

Glaus Commercial from 2006
Ran across this little commercial. Hope Troy Glaus can smash a ball as far as he can a pinata!
Everyone Cheer Up
Not much to be cheery about in Cardinal land after the first series. HOPEFULLY, this will bring a smile to some of your faces.
Just trying to lighten the mood a bit
Field of Redbirds
This might be one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a while. Check out what this farmer has done.
This is located at the intersection of Highway 61 and CR-735 in Troy, MO. You can actually see this via Google Maps at this link. UNBELIEVABLE!
