In their penultimate pick of the day, St. Louis takes second baseman Andrew Brodbeck from Flagler College in Florida. Which makes me think of Matthew Broderick for no particular reason.

Two areas that the Cardinals usually hit pretty hard are both that have avoided attention until the 8th round. In taking Ian Oxnevad, the first high school LHP has gone to St. Louis with two picks left on the day.

Through the first eight St. Louis picks, an even four pitchers and four position players were selected. The Cardinals stuck to the college ranks and took a catcher for the first time in Jesse Jesser, a Senior from San Diego.
And the lefties have finally been represented! Jacob Evans who has had closing experience for Oklahoma comes off the board to the Cardinals in Round 6, second straight pick from Ryan Franklin’s home state.
St. Louis continues the run on right-handed pitchers, add a third in the draft with Ryan Helsley from Northeastern State University in Oklahoma.

With the 100th overall pick, the Cards took University of Florida left fielder Harrison Bader, a NY native. Noted for good bat speed and making hard contact.
