We visit with Brian Walton of thecardinalnation.com to talk MLB playoff format and minor league standouts for the 2022 season according to his organization. The Cardinals organization "Player of the Year" for 2022 is Moises Gomez, a free agent pickup from the Rays last year. He's a great corner outfielder who hit a ton of homeruns but that comes with it's fair share of strikeouts. Brian Walton thinks he'll be in the mix for outfielders in St. Louis for 2023. Brian's "Pitcher of the Year" is Gordon Graceffo. He ended the season with an ERA under 3 and an outstanding .94 WHIP. We also talk about the AFL Cardinals making noise- Walker, Wynn and more.
