Another surprising pick for the Cardinals under new scouting director Randy Flores, Dylan Carlson has big offensive upside but questions in other areas.
That's two surprises the Cardinals have sprung on me tonight. Earlier, in my final wrap before the draft, I predicted a college-heavy approach but did say that if one of the big high school position players fell the Cards could choose to be more opportunistic. They certainly did that with their first pick, jumping on Delvin Perez, the uber-talented shortstop prospect from Puerto Rico whose stock fell because of a positive PED test.
With their second pick, number 33 overall, the Cards pulled another surprising name out of the hate, though this one is for a different reason.
