I’m not sure if you are looking it at the same way, but to me it’s the Cards betting six million that either Wagner Mateo or Shelby Miller become a part of our franchise in the future. You’re better off placing your bets on two spots rather than just one.

Mike – It appears the Cards website is up to date now on 2009 Draft picks and who is signed/no signed.

Matt – Ultimately only 3 first rounders did not sign and 1 (Crow) can still sign (I think up until next years draft…but I might be mistaken). The other 2 were Matt Purke (whom I was a BIG fan of and was promoting as someone we should take if he was available at #19) and LeVon Washington (Rays pick late first round). One guys name out of the 1st round to NOT sign was James Paxton who the Cards were linked to alot in the predraft.

Any chance of getting a rundown on who the Cards signed and who did not sing from the draft? Last I heard, we still had a few other high round picks not signed, but that was about a month ago.

With so many guys not signing it could really start to affect the depth of the draft in coming years. Allowing better players to slide to us on a regular basis.

It’s great for this system to gain guys of the top caliber of Mateo and Miller after losing Wallace, Perez, Todd, and Mortensen.

Let’s hope Stock continues hammering the ball, and we won’t have to worry about the farm system slipping that much.
