Wow, Angel Guzman was a lot better than I remember last year. -
With what? His ability to flatten his hat bill? Come on, at least just ask why. Ok, but he hasn't hardly played in two years now. That alone is worrisome. I just don't see what he could have done to get anyone excited. He played short season ball after he signed, and he's only 18, so playing short season ball this year isn't stalling him, and still puts him on pace to make the majors at a younger than normal age.

Elijah Dukes refused to let the Cardinals take that game.

The thing I don't get is the comparison to stuff like Colvin. The Cubs draft so far isn't bad even when you go by 3rd party. Cashner was a consensus to go around our pick. Shafer's rankings were better than where he was picked. Flaherty was ranked in the 60's-70's, but on the other hand Carpenter cracked the top 50 for some people. The more I think about the Cerda pick the more I like it. He torched California HS ball, and he'll be a decent to above average defender at 2B when he moves there. I'm meh on Bristow, and I hate the Harrison pick, but I hardly think that's cause for ranting on the draft as a whole. Carpenter and Shafer may not be the impact potential players you were hoping for, but they are not Mark Holliman or Billy Muldowney. Don't lump together terrible picks with picks that are different than your personal ideal.

That's how I felt last year.

7-0 now, Parisi is awful. Looks like we have a chance to get back to 3.5 games up tonight.
-
I don't mind the pick, and I like that with guys like Thomas, Flaherty, and Cerda they're going after middle infielders with some pop. Like Raisin said though, it'd be nice to have someone in the first day with impact upside(although I guess you could stretch to apply that label to Carpenter).
-
From a MaxPreps site for his HS, Cerda's numbers this season. 139 PA's, .542/.647/1.075/1.722, 9 2B, 16 HR, 29/6 BB/K

Hahahaha, how did Jonny Gomes get in there so fast? However he did it, it was totally worth it to see him wail on Crisp while Navarro took him down.
-
Not too bad. All college guys so far, although our last two picks have upside above their draft spot if their injury troubles are behind them.
-
The Cardinals broadcast just put up a graphic about their first couple picks, highlighted by first rounder "Brett Walker".
-
Parisi gives up a single and a screaming triple to start, Washington already up 1-0.
-
Was he their Friday starter in the regional last year? Yep, same guy.

Carpenter was #46 in the Saber Scouting Top 100. Player ERA W-L APP GS CG SHO/CBO SV IP H R ER BB SO 2B 3B HR AB B/Avg WP HBP BK SFA SHA 37 CARPENTER, Chris. 3.81 6-2 13 13 0 0/1 0 75.2 55 36 32 33 88 9 3 1 269 .204 7 9 1 6 7 I saw Carpenter pitch in last year's Regional, and I was underwhelmed. I was actually surprised he was well thought of when I found out afterward. That's a pretty solid 2008 season though, and he is projectable.
-
ugh, not a fan of Carpenter
-
Anyone thinking we pop Niko Vazquez here?
-
Yeah, like people would really stop freaking out. Cubs go on a 9 game win streak and gain 1 or 2 games. Just awesome. After the first game of their series with Tampa, the Cards were 3 games out. Since then, they've played .687 ball, and gained a half game. And their schedule gets much tougher through the All Star break.
-
Saber Scouting had Shafer at 77. Wilken has really shied away from High School players these last couple drafts.
-
Not against stellar college competition, but that K/BB ratio is stellar. Player ERA W-L APP GS CG SHO/CBO SV IP H R ER BB SO 2B 3B HR AB B/Avg WP HBP BK SFA SHA 41 Shafer, Aaron.... 2.67 11-3 15 15 4 0/0 0 107.2 94 44 32 26 106 15 2 3 395 .238 1 10 2 2 13

What's gotten into the Cardinals?

Not great immediately, but I think he'll be pretty good. This thinking led me to draft Francisco Liriano in the first 8 rounds of two fantasy drafts this year. -
I put Alvarez in there as a comparison since he played the same competition.
