When the Cardinals took the field for Game Five of the National League
Championship Series with hopes of a second consecutive trip to the World
Series, starting pitcher Lance Lynn was one of six players on the lineup card
who was drafted and developed by the organization. Eleven of the 15 players
who appeared in the game were homegrown, and third baseman David Freese has
spent most of his career with St. Louis after arriving as a minor leaguer via
trade.
This wasn't a fluke. This is the future.
"For us to have sustained success we have to be able to produce players
internally," GM John Mozeliak says. "We knew without that it was going to be
hard to be successful because the free-agent market was not a place we wanted
to be using resources."
The Cardinals lost Game Five and squandered a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven
series against the Giants to fall one win shy of defending their NL pennant.
But while 2012 ended in disappointment, it also marked a positive move in the
first year after the departures of Albert Pujols and Tony LaRussa.
Though Lynn won 18 games and was picked as an all-star in his first season as
a starter, he'll be welcomed to spring training by three challengers for his
spot in the rotation: Joe Kelly, Trevor Rosenthal and Shelby Miller, not one
of whom will be older than 24. Also poised to join the major league mix at
some point in 2013 is outfielder Oscar Taveras, arguably the game's top
hitting prospect, and second baseman Kolten Wong, a first-round pick in 2011.
The emergence of Kelly, Rosenthal and Miller affirmed the organization's
optimism about its pitching depth. Taveras and Wong both played for a
Double-A Springfield squad that won the Texas League championship and
Baseball America's Minor League Team of the Year award. They were kept
together to benefit from the postseason run, and it was the third league
title in three years for Taveras, the TL MVP.
Mike Matheny, who hadn't managed at any professional level before replacing
LaRussa for 2012, was every bit the steward of young talent and established
players the front office had imagined. Nine Cardinals made their major league
debuts in 2012. Matheny's staff also becomes an extension of development, as
John Mabry was promoted from assistant hitting coach to hitting coach when
Mark McGwire departed and Blaise Ilsley moved from Triple-A pitching coach to
big league bullpen coach.
St. Louis took advantage of an opportunity to fortify their talent base with
six of the first 86 picks in the 2012 draft. The Cardinals selected
righthander Michael Wacha at No. 18, then followed with five position
players: outfielder James Ramsey; third basemen Stephen Piscotty, Patrick
Wisdom and Carson Kelly; and catcher Steve Bean. Wacha raced to Double-A in
his first pro summer and may not need much more than another full season in
the minors.
Upon their entry into pro ball, each of those players received a handbook
called "The Cardinal Way." It details rules, cutoff plays and the general
ethos of the organization, one reflected by the team's seventh appearance in
the NLCS in 13 seasons.
"It was instilled in us at the beginning," homegrown outfielder Jon Jay says,
"that it is about winning."
