With MLB-High Seven Picks, Can Cardinals Unearth Sure Things In An Unsure, Abbreviated Draft?

There is a certain rhythm to how Major League Baseball’s annual amateur draft usually unwinds through the course of three days, 40 rounds, and more than 1,000 names — revving from the pulse-quickening first picks to the roster-filling lightning rounds on Day 3.

Cardinals Have Found Gems Later In Draft

The major league baseball draft next month will consist of just five rounds and anybody signed after that will receive no more than $20,000. But rounds six through 50, or six through 40 in later years, have produced some gems and the Cardinals would have quite a representative team from such players culled in the second and third days of the amateur draft.

Still Mad About The Idea Of A Universal DH? Cardinals Fans Should Consider The Advantages

I received a predictable email from a frustrated Cardinals fan this morning. “I bet you're just ecstatic now that the greedy agents and players' association has used the pandemic to blackmail the National League into accepting the designated hitter,” it read. “Who cares if it's just another step in destroying the purest game ever invented by mankind?”

The Cardinals reached the 2019 NLCS on the strength of their pitching and defense, as the team’s offensive efforts could best be described as middle of the pack.
