ST. LOUIS -- While the Cardinals' flurry of Trade Deadline activity was extensively evaluated for the impact it could have on the Major League product, the moves also quietly enhanced the organization's Minor League system.
Five of the players the Cardinals acquired in their four trades moved into the club's Top 30 Prospects list, compiled by MLB Pipeline. Outfielders Justin Williams (No. 9) and Conner Capel (No. 10) rank the highest. Also denting the list are Genesis Cabrera (No. 14), Seth Elledge (No. 22) and Giovanny Gallegos (No. 23).
The Cardinals now have six outfielders among their top 18 prospects.
