fewgoodcards (st. louis): Who are some possibilities for the Cardinals at 13? Obviously they like college pitchers and would probably love a guy like Shooter Hunt or Tanner Scheppers, but they both could be gone. Zach Putnam seems like a guy that fits their sinkerball mentality perfectly, but is he too big of a reach at 13? Also what's the status on local boy Tim Melville?
Bryan Smith: You're right, Putnam matches team philosophy perfect, but he's just not great value in that spot. Sometimes they ignore value to get the guy they want -- okay, they do that a lot -- but I think they'll like someone that's on the board, too. I think Friedrich jumps back into the mix after a great start that I'll detail on Thursday, and I do think Melville will get some consideration. There's also a decent chance Hunt or Scheppers slips enough to get to them. But man, why are you asking me? You've been killing it in analyzing the possibilities over at Future Redbirds.

Pete (Miami): Jaime Garcia repeated AA this year and absolutely dominated. I think he is on his way to Memphis. Is there a chance this groundball machine debuts with the Major League Redbirds later this season?
Bryan Smith: Oh, absolutely. Well, I shouldn't be too quick, since Mulder and Carpenter have the first chance, but there's a 100% chance Garcia pitches in September for the Cardinals. Garcia has looked magnificent this year, and yeah, he's going to Memphis. It's great to see a guy like Garcia make adjustments like he did.
