A look back at two decades of what could have been in Cardinals drafts

The Cardinals drafted 32 players in the first round from 1996 through 2012, and many turned into terrific MLB players. But here's a look at what could have been in the draft.

As a way of demonstrating that I indeed passed the 10th grade, I will begin today's post with an excerpt from Robert Frost's omnipresent poem "The Road Not Taken."

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference."

Because it's a poem that everybody read in school (I'll be sure to work in some hot "The Lottery" takes into future posts), it has been analyzed and theorized into oblivion.
