Since they didn’t sign their 3rd rounder last year, the Cards got to pick between rounds three and four and took RHP Jordan Hicks from Cypress Creek High in Houston.

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.
Three for three go the Cards on Day 1 of the 2015 Draft. Bryce Denton is committed to Vanderbilt but St. Louis has never shied away from tough signs before. He reminds me of Carson Kelly and was announced as a 3B option!
One of the great things about following the minors as closely as I do is watching the draft picks move up the ranks. It seems like it has been awhile since St. Louis took a high upside guy early so let’s see what a little scan of previous selections says about the newest Cardinal, Nick [...]
Cardinals step outside the box and add more young talent with Florida HS RHP Jake Woodford. He is committed to the Gators but getting selected at #39 by St. Louis will present a life-changing opportunity.
After a run on shortstops dominated the first 20 picks, it was time for the arms to take center stage. The Cardinals had their pick of highly touted college RHP and go in the complete other direction! Welcome HS OF Nick Plummer to the St. Louis family and follow him on Twitter!
If we are being completely honest, no one outside of maybe the inner circle surrounding the new Cardinals’ scouting director knows what will happen in a few hours. Officially it may be June 8th, but today is just as big for the Preacher as XMas or my birthday. It wasn’t always that case, however, and [...]
Tomorrow is more than just the third off day of the young season for the big league Cardinals. It may have taken longer than expected to find warmer weather this year, but each of the four full-season affiliates will begin heating up with top prospects all over the map. Marco Gonzales gets to see what [...]
The final entry in the full-season preview holds a special place for me on multiple fronts. Peoria was a natural fit for the Cardinals as far as logistics are concerned, but the Chiefs also offer a storied history as well. I grew up in the Quad-Cities and quickly fell in love with the Midwest League. [...]
Once we get to this part of our season preview, many assumptions have to be made right out of the gate. Palm Beach and next week Peoria are in the spotlight, and it will come right down to the wire before any of the higher clubs announce final rosters. That gives this offering more of [...]
For a player with barely 30 games of experience at the Double-A level, Jacob Wilson certainly has taken advantage of every opportunity to impress this month and honestly has come out of nowhere in the past year. Projected as an advanced bat coming out of the University of Memphis, the Cardinals snagged Wilson in the [...]
One of the best parts about Spring Training by far has to be the awesome coverage. The Cardinals do such a top-notch job of bringing daily stories that I feel honored to even have a small part in getting to share all that is a passion for us. This time of year everyone is optimistic [...]
