Texas League a pretty hitter happy league in general an his home park (Springfield) is among the happiest. It's a park where Daniel Descalso put up a .928 OPS.
I think he'll be a good piece as a 4th or 5th outfielder, but the Cards got a top pitching prospect for superfluous pieces.

The Diamondbacks and David Peralta are in agreement on a three-year, $22 million extension. He’ll earn $7M this year and $7.5M each of the next two years, according to a source. @BNightengale was first to report the news.

I can’t believe it was 2013 when Arredondo was last playing for the Reds. Felt like 2016-17 to me.

Interesting who's leading the charge here. Telling, perhaps, as to payroll limitations.
LA leads the way in the willingness to go to arbitration, with four guys (Baez, Taylor, Muncy, and Pederson). They may be willing to deal a couple of these guys for cheaper alternatives.
Houston (Diaz and Springer) is another big-market teams who is being aggressive with arbitration-level players. Boston (Benintendi and Eduardo Rodriguez), Colorado (Wolters and Story), Milwaukee (Hader and Suter), Philadelpha (Neris and Realmuto), and Arizona (Ahmed and Bradley) are too.
I'd be willing to give up, say, Winker, Kuhnel, and Galvis for Taylor, Baez, and Pederson, pay the extra $12M in arbitration, and roll with that squad.
