The Cardinals have outrighted catchers Steven Hill (pictured) and Bryan Anderson and pitcher Adam Reifer to Triple-A.Hill hit .266 with 17 home runs with St. Louis' Triple-A affiliate in 2012. Anderson hit .225 in 393 in Triple-A plate appearances. Reifer posted a 4.90 ERA in 58 Triple-A appearances.
Analysis: I am sort of surprised to see Hill clearing waivers, because his minor league numbers show some promise. Anderson is still young but hasn't been able to put up good numbers. I know one thing, neither of these guys will get the opportunity to play everyday with Yadier Molina blocking them on the depth chart. Reifer put up decent numbers before the 2012 season, but his bad 2012 campaign dropped his value, and ultimately, his chance to be claimed off of waivers.
