game 1 at 1pm Eastern.
draft at 2pm Eastern.
second game of the doubleheader at 7pm Eastern.

Can’t wait.

I really hope Lawrie is our guy if he’s there at 13. Maybe it’s just Ryan Braun’s recent surge, but a talented 3rd baseman with power seems like a no brainer for a need.

I’d be happy with starting pitching too, you can never have too much pitching. I just don’t want us to stretch out and get someone who may fall to the second round, just because he’s a pitcher, and pass up on a guy like Lawrie.

I don’t usually pay that much attention to draft predictions, but, in order the top three possibilities for pick #13:

Christian Friedrich
         Brett Wallace
         Ryan Perry

That’s, of course, counting on Crow and Beckham are gone by then.

With Pujols not playing in either of today’s two-fer, how many different players do you think TLR will use in his starting lineups?

Parisi: Over/under 5 IP?

has a good article about possible draft sleepers. Some of those might be interesting to think about around the 5th round.

I don’t know who I would love for the Cards to pick, but I have to think if Friedrich is there, he will be taken.

Like to see that happen prior to the 4th round to avoid Kyle Russell part duex

Sort of OT I guess but everytime I hear about the hole at second base I remember how happy I was when the cards signed spivey. I always liked him before he got here, a great athlete. Where is he now?

They did not add the 1st game (last night makeup) to today’s lineup.

STL

Ryan 3B
Barton LF
Mather CF
Ludwick RF
Glaus 1B
Molina C
Miles 2B
Wellemeyer P
Izturis SS

WAS

Guzman SS
Dukes RF
Milledge CF
Boone 1B
Casto 3B
Flores C
Pena LF
Harris 2B

These are the exact same as last night. Don’t be surprised if Gameday just put the same ones up, and the real lineups are something different.

Though why you would be interested in real baseball, instead of pie in the sky, five years away, imaginary baseball is beyond me.

what this Negro Draft is all about? And that looks really weird to type.

I played baseball and soccer all through my childhood with Friedrich. We were pretty chummy. I should send him a good luck message.

He was always a Cubs fan, for those that care, haha. I’d love to see him get a shot in Cardinal red.

anyone take a look at these? Agree/Disagree with their take on any of the top guys or who teams will be taking? They have the Cards taking Friedrich w/ the 13th, as does Keith Law.

I haven’t been big on the draft in the past, but my interest has been piqued in recent years. Just looking for some insight from someone with a little knowledge.

Tim Beckham. Good call baron.

Does anyone know where a list of recommended slot values can be found? I’m curious…

by KC going with Hosmer a little. I thought they would have gone with a college kid, someone who was going to move in a hurry.

you take him?

may fall to us. I don’t like his arm action, but he’s still an awfully good pitcher.

because of this place i dug out my Bowie Changes Cd last night

Young Americans is one of my favorites

Shocker at 10. Houston goes with Castro? Didn’t see that one coming. At. All.

decent crop this year, Baron?

not purely from a talent standpoint. Thanks for taking it completely literally though.

A’s take Weeks at #12. Again, I say

Holy Shit.

coming up here for the birds? Or Lawrie?

Here we go.

no perry no perry no perry no perry

Stop!

I really, really don’t like Wallace. Sigh.

He should be able to have sixteen, seventeen children.

he’s already almost 22!!!!

...Butler’s top comparables are 1) Marc Newfield, 2) Greg Luzinski and 3) Gary Carter

takes Hicks at 14. My original mock draft was actually correct, and I talked myself out of it.

dude doesn’t look like any 3rd baseman i’ve ever seen. Albert ain’t going any where, so was this just a case of taking the best player & hope for the best?

i ask, because i have no idea.

take another HS player from Missouri and take Melville here?

take Lawrie. Great. Now we’re going to have to watch him bash our brains in 15 games a year.

interviewed Wallace on ESPN. Seems like a really nice kid, talked about how glad he was to be with such a strong organisation. Grew up in the Bay Area, loves La Russa, etc.

Welcome to the Cardinals, kid. Glad to have you aboard.

are the Mariners thinking with Fields there? Bizarre.

Wallace is some sort of Kirby Puckett/Terry Pendleton? Looks can be deceiving if you got quick feet.

And are the super-regionals on TV?

friedrich, melville, hunt, odorizzi, perry – every single pitcher (not counting hicks) we as a group identified for the cards’ pick at 13.

so, now that we’re all the way to 21 and they’re all still on the board, i guess the question is, will any be available at 39? i’d have to think any one of them would be a bargain at that point, and some would be an outright steal.

I hope Odorizzi falls that far. Can’t imagine that he will, but I would weep with joy if he did.

thats two down, three to go?

tino freaking martinez?
