Jeffries is my favourite pick in the draft as well. Think he could be real value at #10.

Garcia sounds like a big upside guy at 20 as well, if he was more signable I’m guessing he would’ve been a fair bet to go in the first 5 or 6 rounds. I don’t think he signs, though.

Any word on Sam Tuvalviaaialaia (aka—the 3rd rounder from last year….not sure what the last name actually is)?

[...] Cardinals are looking for sway some High Schoolers from their College Commitments. In this post, we addressed the question of how much would it take [...]

Big fan of any team drafting local talent, especially the Cardinals. We’re not going way over slot for anyone else in the draft. Get Graves and Schmidt.

Really wish he would have signed with the Cards, not just for the team but for himself as well. Hitters really seem to struggle at Stanford for some odd reason. They do a fine job of developing pitchers, but position players rarely do well there.

Definite fan of the Knox pick. He could be the next Matt Adams to come through the system. All the caveats about small schools and lack of athleticism and the like certainly apply, but you can’t teach power. Look for what you can’t give a player.

I’m really hoping fthe Cards can get Garcia signed. Huge fan of the pick and the player. If they could somehow get all four of these guys to sign it would immediately make this draft look a dozen times better to me than it does now.

I will be pleasantly surprised if any of the 4 sign: Garcia, Graves, Kamplain, Schmidt.

I hope Kirsch signs.

Watched few games of his on tv, i believe he must be part dominican because he swings at everything.

I would like to see Lance Jeffries succeed, I know he was drafted higher than most of the guys being mentioned, but 10th round is definitely a place where a diamond in the rough can be found. My other pick would be Knox, but the question is does he have anything more than power to offer? Matt Adams at least hits for a good average, and I honestly know nothing about Knox defensively or in regards to his ability to take a BB or hit for average.
