Bolivar, 22, was selected in the first round of the Triple-A phase off the Double-A Springfield roster of the St. Louis Cardinals. He batted a combined .276 (97-for-351) with nine home runs and 50 RBI in 104 games between Class-A Palm Beach and Double-A Springfield. A native of Caracas, Venezuela, he originally signed with the Cardinals as a non-drafted free agent on July 12, 2005.
