I get press releases from the Cardinals. Anytime they make some announcement, be it a contract extension or a Triple A optioning or pretty much anything else, I get an email notifying me of whatever it was. I don’t say this to brag; I’m fairly certain just about anyone who wants to get on their email list can do so. I think I was automatically put on the list back in 2008 when I first got credentialed through the RFT, and they just never bother to purge the rolls, I don’t believe.
Anyhow, I got an email this morning notifying me that the Cardinals have named Justin Toerner their minor league player of the month for April, and Johan Oviedo their minor league pitcher of the month.
