The MLB Draft is coming up next week. All fans, myself included, struggle with thinking the prospect their team drafts is going to become a future star. Unfortunately it doesn’t work like that as it seems like more picks wind up being busts instead of stars. For every three Jordan Walker and Nolan Arenado’s it seems like there are three first rounders who never even make it to the show. As a result, the Cardinals have their fair share of busts, three of whom we will discuss below.
1. SS - Delvin Perez - 2016 - Round 1 pick 23
Highest level - AAA - Cardinals in 2022
Current team and level - New York Yankees - AA
Before being drafted there was a lot of promise around Delvin Perez.
