Daniel Norris is still out there. Evidently he will cost some money to sign, but I think we have a bit of cash.
I'll also look out for Jorge Lopez, RHP out of Puerto Rico.
UPDATE X2:
I'll also put out Alex Dickerson, OF Indiana U., potential big bat.
UPDATE X3:
Brewers took Lopez. Are those asshats reading this blog?
UPDATE X4:
Looking for another pitcher. If the Cards can be patient maybe Matt Purke, LHP TCU. He's been injured, but he's a high upside selection.
UPDATE X5:
Norris finally taken, by the Blue Jays. Possible steal if they can get him to sign.
UPDATE X6:
Cards selection Charlie Tilson, OF HS New Trier, IL
MLB says:
The Chicago-area high school product was known in the region for a while, but really helped his stock with a tremendous performance at the Area Code Games last summer.
Tilson isn't the biggest guy in the world, reminding some of a Brett Gardner or Jacoby Ellsbury, both of whom had more of a track record as college performers. He has been a two-sport athlete in high school, and that athleticism does play well on the diamond. He has some quick-twitch actions and has a good first step down the line. Overall, his speed grades out as above average -- he's not a true burner -- but he could be a solid leadoff hitter or No. 2 type in the future, thanks to his contact and on-base skills.
Tilson has a smooth swing and is quick to the ball, tending to shoot the ball in the gap with an opposite-field approach. He has below-average power and does need to gain some strength.
He plays center field right now and could be an average defender there in the future. The accuracy of his fringe-average arm should allow him to play center or left field capably. His size and strength might deter some, as could a strong commitment to college, but any Gardner or Ellsbury fans out there might give Tilson a try.
UPDATE X7:
Dickerson was taken by the Pirates with the first pick in Round Three.
I'm gonna wait to see who takes Purke, then I'm outta here!
UPDATE X8:
The Nats select Purke @ #96. MLB doesn't think they will be able to sign him as he can go back to school and hope to improve his draft standing.
