The St. Louis Cardinals lost 8 of its minor leaguers to the draft but picked up 3. All of the acquisitions are pitchers, while the bulk of the players taken by other teams are righthanded pitchers specifically.
Still, the three pitchers it did get represented a lot more activity than I thought, given the organizational depth and where the St. Louis Cardinals were picking — 30th, dead last. But they have to clear a roster spot for just one of the three.
The St. Louis Cardinals took soft-tossing righty Matt Bowman in the Major League phase of the draft.
