1.07 . Garrett Crochet, p, CWS

Open to trading 1 or both supplementals for the right deal.

Good news - jumped from 12th to 7th in 4 weeks. bad news: missed out on a top supplemental guy. coin flip.

Well my team has sucked all year. Without trading it will continue to suck. Just trying to climb into a playoff spot at this point or not finish last. Either would be a win.

My season is over. Cardinals might lose 100.

Cruz fills a weakness. Ss had me worried with the Cards starting a rookie, Edman starting the season in IL and Crawford on the bench. Love my infield.

28.03 - Oneil Cruz, SS, PIT

I “should” have power with Goldy, Arenado, Gorman, and Walker. Some more all around stats are much needed on my team. I thought about waiting on him but didn’t think he would make it back.

My team sucks. I need 3 more supplementals to be competitive.

27.10 - Luis Robert, OF, CWS

Damn…. Hope the season goes better than the draft slots have for me.

C. Willson Contreras, Knizner 1B, Goldschmidt 2B. Gorman, Donavon, Palacios SS. Winn, DeJong 3B. Arenado OF, Walker, Edman, Nootbar, Thomas SP. Gray, Flaherty, Montgomery, Hicks, Matz, Lynn, Mikolas, RP. Helsley, Cabrera, Romero, Kelly, Kittridge, Gallegos, Totally different draft experience for me this year. In years past I have had an insane amount of exclusives starting pitchers. I had 9 last year alone. Due to Alcantara and Johan Oviedo missing all of 2024 and the trades last year of a lot of pitchers off the Cardinals roster, I had 1 quality starter (Sonny Gray) going into the season. Fortunately I was able to field a team of non pitchers out of exclusives that included Goldschmidt, Arenado, Contreres, and several players with a lot of positional eligibility. This allowed me to focus on Pitching. Out of my 12 picks, 9 were pitchers. after I saw the draft order, I knew I didn’t have a shot at Arozarena or Adolis Garcia so I turned to young pitchers with the most upside. I took Flaherty number 1 knowing that he would have to get through 4 picks before I had another shot at him in round 2. I gambled that Montgomery wouldn’t sign before I could make my 2nd round pick and that paid off. Jordan Hicks and Steven Matz gives me some upside and the remaining pitchers gives me depth. (Lynn and Mikolas). the 3 position players (DeJong, Knizner, Palacios) add some depth but not much upside. players I missed out on: I forgot about Quintana. I didn’t have him in my list. I would have liked to snag Wacha as well. Garcia and Arozarena I knew would be gone. I lost Kyle Gibson but I am ok with that. I put him in the Lynn, Mikolas category. I feel good about my lineup. I have a few places where I can upgrade but I feel I can hang middle of the pack of things go well.

I would offer you Flaherty but he is only good for 2-4 weeks.

3.07 - Steven Matz, P, STL

Wanted to grab some high upside pitchers since I have almost no exclusives anymore. Took a chance letting Montgomery slide so I could grab Flaherty. When he is on he has Ace potential. Was happy enough grabbing Hicks in the 4th round. Again, young upside strikeout guy. Will be interesting to see how he does as a starter. He was a starter all the way through the Cardinals system before they moved him. grabbed Montgomery in the second. Huge bust potential with him sitting out so long. Will miss at least a couple of starts of not more. Hope he signs soon.
