Cardinals Conclude College-Heavy Day Two, Seeking Power

After making their first four picks on Thursday, the Cardinals continued to add talent to the organization with eight picks on Day 2. The club went college heavy, too, choosing five college position players and another two college pitchers. The lone high school selection came in the fifth round, when the Cardinals took an 18-year-old outfielder out of Mississippi.
