The Johnson City team lacks a premier prospect in 2012 like it had in 2011 (Tyrell Jenkins) or Oscar Taveras (2010) but there are some position players to watch. Add into that the Johnson City version of Batavia’s Yunier Castillo and there should be something to pique your interest.

A few links for your morning reading:

• Baseball Instinct’s Shelby Miller Scouting Report (from June) – The change in groundball rate when he moved to Springfield was not happenstance but a very concerted effort on the part of the coaching staff and Shelby to keep the ball down in the zone. The four seam fastball up and out of the zone is still a swing and miss offering but groundballs are king in St. Louis.
• Prep Baseball Report & Lance Jeffries (h/t nmstar) – The Cardinals really got into drafting speedy outfielders this year.
• Baseball Instinct’s Zach Cox Scouting Report – I think the differences between Matt Carpenter and Cox on prospect lists is quite interesting and almost entirely a function of draft position.

The Cardinals so far have signed 27 draft picks (per CardsInsider on Twitter – official Cardinals account) which includes Lance Jeffries and Casey Rasmus (36th round).

UPDATE - Ryan Sherriff (28th round) has a picture of himself and another guy in Cardinals gear in a locker room.  I’ll assume he is one of the 27.

BJ Rains also has 7th rounder Nick Martino signed as well (4 of 27 found)

I’m working to get the rest of the names. Please drops links in the comments if you find reports of other signage.
