We all agree that Higher is always better.

I find it successful though if the Cards are no lower than #9.
historically.... 2 teams outside of the current Top 6 win the Lottery....I'm scared of dropping to 13th.
"I'm scared of dropping to 13th". You jinxed the Cardinals. LOL Just kidding. Maybe the Cardinals can still get one of the outfielders in the top five outfielders listed in the the top ten overall prospects. Like I said, it was good to see so many college OFs rated in the top
ten. I like Strosnider.

I'm disappointed but not mad. There will probably be great talent at 13 still, and it helps insure us from getting shut out of the top 5 next year.

Isn't it supposed to be a fairly deep draft, too?

He isn't even on the mock draft graphics you shared.

A second Liam (Peterson) wouldn't be bad by the looks of it, if he's still there at 13.

Nice player !

According to Baseball America , their mock just released has Hacopian going 18th to Reds so very likely he could be on the board when Cardinals draft 13th.

As I posted in sepearate thread , BA tonight has HS SS Spangler being taken by Bloom and the boys.
Question I have is Would a Spangler by-pass Standford program to sign with Cardinals ?

Looking like 3 picks in Top 50. 13, 32 and 50 possibly.

Have their work cut out for them. Can't screw it up!!!

This was the silver lining for me. I expect the Cards to lose 90+ games.
