Guess no one besides Shelby Miller counts....

No. 91 is actually Oscar Taveras, a 19-year-old outfielder who hit .386/.444/.584 with eight homers and 62 RBIs at Single-A Quad Cities in 2011. That performance led Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus to rank him as the second-best Cardinals prospect, worthy of five stars and a spot just behind pitcher Shelby Miller.

It was a prank the TV crew pulled on Ricky & Dan. Apparently Ricky & Dan weren't given that number for Taveras, but it's still pretty pathetic. I mean, it's pretty easy to determine who's who at this point in camp. The Cardinals camp really doesn't feature anyone similar to Taveras at this point.

I would think it's more like Taveras isn't on the roster that the production truck was given so they had to make up a very generic lower third to identify the runner. Definitely the best baseball lower third I've ever seen!

If it said "Some Minor League Guy" I would still be laughing. I knew who it was but still very very funny. I actually had the chance to get his autograph at Busch Stadium right after the Cardinals got him and did'nt (I didnt care and still dont lol)
