OF James Ramsey

Age • 24

Preseason organizational rank • 10

Current organizational rank • 6

Current level • Class AA Springfield

2014 stats • 65 games, 236 AB, 71 H, 45 R, 13 HR, 34 RBIs, .301 AVG, .385 OBP, .525 SLG

2013 stats (Three levels) • 112 games, 411 AB, 109 H, 78 R, 16 HR, 51 RBI, .265 AVG, .373 OBP, .440 SLG

The Cardinals were expecting a lot of average and a sprinkling of power when they drafted Ramsey in the first round out of Florida State in 2012. But after tearing up High-A for three weeks, Ramsey pulled a one-eighty at Springfield in 2013. He clubbed 15 home runs, but hit just .251.

This year Ramsey combined the two. He started the season on an power surge, and although mid-season nicks and knacks (shoulder sprain, strained oblique) dulled his summer power, 13 home runs still compliment a .301 average.

A hard-nosed defender (shoulder sprain came from a collision with an outfield wall) with above-average speed, this season has seen Ramsey develop into a complete package.
