The Draft
Damn, my palms still get sweaty when I use that word and am not in a bar.
Am I correct in my reading that the Cardinals have only drafted 2 players on that incredible list who have any sort of ranking according to MLB? And the first of those is a catcher who is apparently too clumsy to be a catcher?
Once again, I apologize for no hyperlink.

Re: The Draft
Hurst wasn't listed in Baseball America's Top 200 because of his injury issues.
The only player I know anything about is the pitcher from Stanford they drafted in the 12th round. He became the Saturday starter on a team that wasn't expected to do much this year, finished second in the Pac 12 and lost in the regional tournament they hosted. He's one of those tall-and-fall guys who throws pretty hard but has command issues, though he was better with that this year,

Re: The Draft
I never thought I'd live to see a day when the first kid drafted from Amherst went before the first kid drafted from Arizona State.

I'm sure they've lowered their academic standards just like everyone else.

Amherst decided to drop the longstanding Lord Jeffs mascot because it turned out his namesake gave blankets infected with small pox to Native Americans in the 18th Century. They were going to change their name to the "Fighting Irish," but that was deemed even more offensive.
