Cardinals' Heralded Prospect Drops Off Top 100 List Amid Absence
After starting the season on the 60-day IL, St. Louis Cardinals former top-100 prospect Tink Hence has fallen out of Top 100 Prospect List. Sam Dykstra covered the updated list, mentioning Hence as one of three prospects dropping out of the top 100. Advertisement "Hence really needed a healthy 2025," Dykstra wrote. He highlighted that Hence has yet to throw more than 96 innings in a full season due to his yearly struggle with injuries since joining the Cardinals' organization, writing, "As good as the stuff has looked, he needs to show he can stick to the mound to regain more solid Top 100 consideration." St. Louis Cardinals pitching prospect Tink Hence in a spring relief appearance on February 25, 2025. Sam Navarro-Imagn Images Coming into the season, Hence was sitting at No. 76 on the Top 100 List, but according to Dykstra, the news of the righty sustaining a right rib cage strain during spring training was enough to take him out of consideration for the list. The 22-year-old only totaled 20 starts for Double-A Springfield in 2024, but carried a 2.71 ERA with 109 strikeouts through 79 2/3 innings of work.

Other Cardinals in the Top 100 Cardinals top prospect JJ Wetherholt jumped from No. 23 to No. 20 on the list after starting the year with a .290 average in his first 22 games for the Double-A Cardinals. The 22-year-old shortstop has scored 12 times, walked 11 times, knocked in 10 runs, and picked up four doubles and a home run in just 78 at-bats so far this year. Although the team's No. 2 prospect Quinn Mathews hasn't seen action with Triple-A Memphis since April 11, the southpaw moved from No. 45 to No. 40 on the list. The 24-year-old pitched to a 6.10 ERA in three April starts, allowing seven runs on 11 hits and 15 in 10 1/3 innings before hitting the 7-day IL on April 13.

If Mark Carney becomes Canada's next PM, it will be Trudeau 2.0
Many Canadians were pleased to hear that Ah, but wishes don't always come true. A second political nightmare is already brewing: Mark Carney has become the leading candidate to replace Trudeau. The former Bank of Canada and Bank of England governor is a preposterous choice. He has no political experience. He's never held or run for a federal seat. He doesn't know how to lead a party, country or survive in the dog-eat-dog world of politics. Yet, Carney could very well claim Canada's top political prize. Not by facing the electorate, but through the decision of Liberal insiders and grassroots supporters to hand it to him on a silver platter. That probably suits his silver spoon approach to politics just fine. Many Canadians and Britons know that Carney, although more educated and intelligent than Trudeau, has mediocre and ineffective ideas up his sleeve, too. He Carney is also the same bank governor for both our countries – who was far from the gold standard and had plenty of copper in his mouth – who Canada's liberal elites think otherwise. They see him as one of them. He's a technocrat who will sip champagne and eat caviar with world leaders, but stand with the little people and claim to feel their pain. He has a massive sense of entitlement, The Daily Show , but is an insider through and through. He was an Hence, the liberal elites can't fathom that Carney could lose an election to Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. Poilievre's too right-wing for progressive-thinking Canadians, they believe. Conservative figures across the globe Oh, the horror! How will Canadians survive? They will, and without too much trouble. Poilievre has been The Liberals believe that switching Trudeau for Carney will stop the bleeding and save their political hides. They're wrong. All it's going to result in is Justin Trudeau 2.0 with the same lousy cast of Liberal MPs and cabinet ministers in tow.
