While the St. Louis Cardinals have done very well in recent years drafting and developing pitching, the team’s crop of early-drafted position players hasn’t panned out as well. In fact, the last position player the Cardinals drafted in the first round who made the majors with the team was 2012 draft pick Stephen Piscotty.
Although the Cardinals have a less-than-stellar recent history in picking position players early, the team should seriously consider Mississippi State University second baseman Justin Foscue.
Foscue’s top tool is his bat. He has more power than your typical middle infielder.
