According to Baseball America anyway. He had a decent chance to stick with the Cardinals after an impressive spring. It doesn't look like he will be in the minors for too long. Maybe just long enough to drop a year from his free agent time.
Just what the Cardinals need, more pitching!! The rich get richer.
His K/BB ratio has been getting better as he rises up the ranks:
High A: 5.75
AA: 6.94
AAA 9.00
Those are eye-popping, jaw-dropping numbers by themselves. To be rising as he encounters better competition is pretty unusual. My guess is this guy knows how to pitch.

PITCHER OF THE DAY: Tim Cooney, lhp — MEM
There were several excellent outings Saturday night, including Jake deGrom (NYM) at Las Vegas and Jimmy Nelson (MIL) at Nashville, but lefthander Cooney—who's the No. 6 prospect in a very deep Cardinals system, struck out nine in six strong innings in his Triple-A debut. Cooney threw just 88 pitches in an 11-1 win over Iowa, which had Top 100 prospects Javier Baez and Arismendy Alcantara in the lineup.
