Short Bio:
Colby Ryan Rasmus (born August 11, 1986 in Columbus, Georgia) is a center fielder in the St. Louis Cardinals organization. Another high school outfielder from the 2005 draft, Rasmus is another exciting young talent with all five tools at his disposal. He played nearly all of 2007 in the Double-A Texas League at age 20 and did much more than hold his own, leading the league in home runs and finishing among the leaders in a slew of other offensive categories. He capped his season with a strong performance for Team USA at the World Cup in Chinese Taipei. He is listed as #5 on the 2008 Baseball America Top 100 Prospects

BaseballTalkPro Outlook
As of March 15, 2008 - Rasmus batting .310 and leads the team with a .500 OBP and has been hammering the ball like there's no tomorrow. He was a non-roster invitee to the Cardinals in Spring Training, 2008 to try to claim a regular spot in the lineup after the Cardinals traded Jim Edmonds on December 15, making the rare jump from AA directly to the majors without having played a game at the AAA level. However, this likely won't happen as the organization has said they'd rather not rush his development.

Rasmus had a pretty good rookie year, given Pujols and Holliday in that lineup full time now I do wonder if that helps his production to higher levels more quickly then he'd otherwise get there.  He should be fun to watch for a long time patrolling CF.
