…because then they could draft Bryce Harper in 2011. You can read all about his recent exploits here.  500+ feet from a 15 year old is pretty stinking amazing, even if it’s only BP with a metal bat.

Also at the 2009 High School Power Show Case was left-handed 1B/RF Jem Argenal, whom the Cardinals signed out of Nicaragua back in November when Argenal turned 17. He hit 0 homers with the wood bat, but popped four with an aluminum bat in the Trop, one going 454 feet. I can’t say I know much about him outside of that, but he is a name to keep an eye on in the DSL next season.
