Future Redbirds


A hero ain’t nuttin’ but a sandwich

There are still some very good players left on the board that could very well be at #39, names I didn’t think would last. Shooter Hunt, Tim Melville, Zach Collier, Jake Odorizzi, and Conor...

Odorizzi bumps Melville

As the top HS P to be taken out of the St. Louis area. No one would’ve called that a few months ago.

And at 39 the Cardinals take….

Lance Lynn, Ole Miss. I wouldn’t have passed on Tim Melville for Lynn. He’s a sinkerballer. Big guy, but not huge stuff. The Cards are definitely not trying to sell jeans. More thoughts...

The Red Sox are just a great organization

Here’s looking at the Walrus

First of all, from a pure performance standpoint there is little not to like. .414/.531/.762 with 21 HR and (fwiw) 81 RBI in 227 at bats. He walked 45 times to 31 strikeouts. For someone who scouts...

Cards are on the clock
