Duce (or any other draft honks)-

Any thoughts on Anthony Ayenson? Was reading an article talking about him. Said he was a underrated with the ability to slot in as a future #2 in an MLB rotation.

every time I saw him pitch this spring his slider and fastball were pretty good.

does he get to #55? I would've thought he gets the CWS bounce is late 1st or Comp Round A?

[TraveledLessRoad]

Yeah, sounds unlikely he makes it to 55...but who knows. This draft class is just sort of weird

that it is, TLR...that it is...so many HS prospects...I don't know where they'll all go

First off geauxxx tigers. Second, if he’s at 55, cardinals would be dumb passing on him. Not only is he a great pitcher, but a good boy. If they go with one of the high school bats at #5, I could see them going with one of the collage arms like ayenson at 55. Fischer is my dream pick though. I know he won’t be there, but I’d love us to get him.

Who's Fischer?

Who's Fischer?

Andrew Fischer...Tennessee Volunteer. Power Bat/OBP machine. 1B I believe. He played 3B a bit with Ole Miss in 2024...or with another school. I'm not sure.. He might've logged some more innings elsewhere

For me, baseball is just as much mental as athletic compared to many of the other team sports such as basketball/football as they seem to focus on athletic gifts more than understanding of the game. In baseball, I want to know skill and many times I've seen some of the better players recently come from big baseball bloodlines (Holliday/Witts/Bichette/guerrero, etc.). While unlikely to land Holliday as doubt he would slide this far, and doubtful it seems Cards go after Hernandez for whatever reason, would love to see us draft someone like WIllits that comes from the playing/coaching, or someone that has been through a lot such as JoJo Parker (dad has spinal injury).

Dylan Carlson came from a baseball coaching family.

And Colby Rasmus.

Well known moron Tony Rasmus.

My 3 round cardinal mock draft.
5. JoJo Parker- cardinals fall in love with the Mississippi high school shortstop. Has enough pop to move to third if needed.
55. JB Middleton- ace potential with 3 plus pitches. Falls to 55 because of size.
72. Jacob Parker- Bash brothers are coming to stl. We finally get a decent rf prospect. Has great exit velos and enough arm to man right field.
89. Aj Russell- Tommy John surgery kept him from being a 1st rounder. Has an 80 grade fastball. Worst case he becomes our closer.
Cards also draft Mizzou qb horn in the 7th round. Book it.

[82birds]
