The Cardinals' numerous trades in the last few years have clearly taken a lot of talent out of the system. But for the players who remain, the trades have created opportunity that might not have existed before. Bowers, a Pennsylvania high school product who went to junior college before the Cardinals drafted him, was clearly behind Jack Wilson in the organization before Wilson was traded to the Pirates. Now Bowers is one of the organization's more advanced infield prospects. He has played mostly shortstop throughout his career but profiles better as a second baseman. He has limited range, leading to 13 errors last year, but should be able to handle second. He'll have to hit to continue his advance through the system, though. He has a good approach and is willing to take a walk. He'll never hit for much power. The Cardinals will let Bowers take the next step to Double-A, hoping he continues his offensive development and holds his own on defense.
