Not much difference in drafting #1 or #5 in the upcoming MLB draft

[Shady]

Let's say Anderson, Holliday, Arnold and either Doyle or Arquette go before the Cardinals pick. That leaves, possibly, the best high school pitching prospect, Hernandez. And, possibly, the top high school hitting prospect, Willits.

The birds are sitting in a very good spot, I sure hope they don't cheap out

Right now, realistically, it's 1) Arnold 2) Willits 3) Hernandez as possibilities at 5 for the Cardinals.

I'm not sure where Arquette fits in. I've seen him described as the best college hitter in the upcoming draft. Frankly, I hope both he and Doyle are picked before the Cardinals pick.

NO!! There is no way Honky Tonk Man is one of Shady's socks. Just because he's happens to be around at the same time Shady is and agrees 100% with him does NOT mean they are the same person. No way, no how.

Even Lois Lane could catch on to him.

I believe HTM is just tired of all the stupid conjecture and harassment. Any decent poster should be, too.

There's a decent chance that some combo of the three top college pitchers and Holliday will be the first four picks. If that's the case. I wouldn't mind the Cardinals going for Hernandez. Though a high school RHP, I've seen him described as the pitcher with the highest upside in the draft. True Ace-type potential.

I believe most the board is tired of your sad act. If there is anyone beside you or your sock HTM who disagrees please let us know.

Hmmm. No one else has objected thus far. If there are objectors I, as a charter member of said Goon Squad, will not hassle them.

Sorry, but you would be the first one hassling anyone that showed any support of ole' Shady. You are a deal, Lucille.

No other objectors. Log in on another device as Honky Tonk Man and let me have it

[Bushiro]

Except saving some money. The Cardinals lucked out getting the #5 pick. They are also fortunate that there doesn't seem to be four players that will be a lot better than whomever is available for them at #5.

[fork] off...all your posts smell like a #2

That reply is some funny number #2 right there

Your priorities need to be re-assessed. Something doesn't add up with you. Morty.

Why on earth would we want to save money on the draft right after we went through a reset and saved tens of millions of dollars annually for the precise goal of spending MORE on the draft and the minors???

I'd put less than a 1% chance the Cardinals take Hernandez. Right now, I think the Cardinals top 5 consists of (in some order) Holliday, Anderson, Arnold, Willits, and Arquette.

Good discussion. Thanks.
