Your St. Louis Cardinals came into the first day of the draft with picks 19, 43, 75, and 95. This year’s draft was going to be very different. Last year, because of the hacking scandal, the Cardinals’ picked first at 94 overall. Even with this handicap the 2017 draft was still very successful as Chase Pinder (CF, 7th round), Evan Mendoza (3B, 11th round), and Kramer Robertson (SS ,4th round) are all playing at High-A Palm Beach already.
Flores was recently on Dan Mclaughlin‘s podcast where he spoke about his draft strategy.
