I'd much rather target Matt Harvey with our first pick, seeing as how he might slip to us. But I'm not sure we go after a pitcher (have a lot of good pitching prospects in the lower minors already) or a high school player. Although I understand the first one, I'd actually rather go after HS than college players. With Cecil, I'm not so sure he'll be there with our supplemental pick, and if he isn't I would love to go after Kevin Ahrens or if he's not there Michael Burgess or Justin Jackson. Does anyone know a good amount or even more than what milb.com's scouting report says about Tepensch? From what I know he has a great arm but could be a pretty big project. Also I think I'd much rather the Cards take a gamble and see if he could fall to us in the 3rd, than take him in the 2nd, even though he is the hometown kid. As you can see I'm the opposite of the Cardinal front office, I'd much rather have a HS player than a college player. Also, I would prefer to draft based purely on best player available, except if the player can only play 1st(Pujols factor). Personally I’m not a huge fan of Dominguez.
