Cards Draft

I've no idea what will happen, but I'm rooting for the Cards being able to get Jed Bradley, LHP Georgia Tech. They are on pick 12 and the Cards pick at 22.

There is a chance!

UPDATE:

Crap. The Brewers took Bradley @ #15.

I'm switching to Daniel Norris, LHP, HS Johnson City, TN (Where the Cards have a minor league team. WOuld be a nice story!)

UPDATE X2:

Only one pick to go and Norris is still there. If they go position player I would think SS Levi Michael or 2B Kolten Wong.

UPDATE X3:

Cards are up!

UPDATE X4:

Kolten Wong is the pick.



UPDATE X5:

In terms of "name" picks this draft will be a little slim for the Cards. We don't pick again until #79.

UPDATE X6:

More on Wong from MLB.COM:

There aren't that many pure college bats in this year's Draft class, but Wong has one of them. He gets overlooked because of his size, his position and the fact he plays in Hawaii. But, drawing comparisons to Carlos Baerga, Wong can really hit.

He's got a professional approach at the plate, with a little power, and is the kind of hitter who should not take a long time to get to the big leagues. He's an above-average runner, and while he may not be a Gold Glover, he's a solid defender at second base. There tends to be a knock against guys who enter the Draft already at second, but Wong is a much better all-around player than perhaps he gets credit for.

Even if he's underappreciated, he's still going to come off the board at some point in the first round.

Doesn't sound like a sexy pick, but I'm OK with this.

UPDATE X7:

If Cincy picks Norris here, I'll be pissed.

UPDATE X8:

I'm not pissed.

UPDATE X9:

Levi Michael wound up going to the Twins. Good for them. Norris still on the board. He will probably become a Ray selection soon.
