JD on Joshua Baez (Aug 20, 2026): It's pretty incredible that Baez hit 3 HR in his first game and now looks like he can't hit a baseball. He hit 34 home runs in AAA this year and looks like he will easily eclipse the 40-home run mark between the two levels this year. Pretty good for a player who wasn't really an upper-echelon prospect outside of a few sources heading into the year. Long term I think he will be a pretty productive bat for the Cardinals with plenty of power and a questionable hit tool that will probably lead to low averages and a lot of strikeouts. I think he'll definitely carve out a good role for himself but will be susceptible to peaks and valleys. The good news is that he doesn't have the Jordan Walker problem where he likes to beat balls into the ground for fun so he probably won't have the same initial issues that Walker had when he first came to the big leagues.
JD on Juneiker Caceres (Jul 14, 2026): Drop everything you're doing and go pick up Juneiker before you read the rest of this blurb. Got him? Ok great, I think I just found you one of the best risk-reward prospects in all of baseball right now. He's not currently on the MLB Pipeline Top 100, which I find so hard to believe because he has put up an incredible season in A ball at 18 years old. He is currently slashing .320/.418/.538 within WRC+ of 153. AT 18 YEARS OLD. He's still a high variance prospect and he's definitely going to take his lumps over the next couple of years as he develops but he's already got great bat speed and fantastic bat to ball skills. Look at this clip and tell me who he reminds you of (ahem CarGo anyone?). https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zubiyW1WZm4 I think I'm going to be banging a table a lot on Juneiker for the next couple of months before the rest of the industry really picks up on him I hope you are able to pick him up on the cheap today.
