That's a really good sign.

HS guys typically don't do that right off the bat unless there is something there.

Then again the league ERA is over 5 so there isn't much pitching in rookie ball this year.

Albert was a no brainer, the first one of these was Allen - Uncle John MU

- 7/16 12:00:54

Just in the last 3 years they have given out - Hoosier Daddy1 IU - 7/16 11:40:48

I didn't think the Dejong deal was bad. Pretty cheap if he - TheWildcat STL - 7/16 11:17:01

They just seem to be doing it a lot - Hoosier Daddy1 IU - 7/16 11:35:32

I just think he should have held off one more year before - Uncle John MU

Worst thing this team did was get rid of Luhnow - Hoosier Daddy1 IU - 7/16 11:07:11

He has VERY diligently operated the "Cardinal Way" - Mizzou Lou KC - 7/16 10:50:49

Not signing Scherzer was a big mistake. (nm) - Uncle John MU

- 7/16 10:56:14

Matheny got ribbed for the team being so unfundamentally - TheWildcat STL - 7/16 10:52:58
