Pick #70: Connor Jones, RHP, University of Virginia

The Cardinals go for another college righthander, one without great stuff, and without great results.

With the 70th overall pick in the draft, the Cardinals went back to the college righthander well, and picked a pitcher who, going by most of the draft rankings, should probably be seen as a bargain.

Connor Jones is, by far, my least favourite pick of the night.

Jones made his name last season, in the 2015 College World Series run-up, when he filled in for the injured Nathan Kirby and helped push the Cavaliers through their title run. He looked good doing it, too.
