you can probably guess who
Another prospect list is out, this time from MLB Pipeline, and similar faces from the St. Louis Cardinals organization have made an appearance. In order:
23. JJ Wetherholt, Shortstop
45. Quinn Mathews, Left-handed pitcher
77. Tink Hence, Right-handed pitcher
The trio have also made appearances on Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus lists, with Wetherholt appearing as high as 13 on the Baseball Prospectus Top 101. I wrote more about them, as well as catcher Jimmy Crooks, who also appeared in the top 101, when discussing that list here.
Here is some more prospect info:
