We have plenty of orginizational depth at catcher and Posey should be up soon. I was listening to Lunhow on the roll home with Bernie and he was talking about how much they factor in need while drafting. I think if you couple that with the price tag, that in the unlikely scenario Posey falls to us we too will pass on him. I hope I'm wrong because we should be taking the best available player and Posey's upside by far exceeds Molina's and Anderson's. I really don’t see the cards goin after Posey.

You take an impact guy. This will be his signature pick. . .much like the Pirates brass are eager to wipe away the ugliness after they passed on Wieters and were blasted by their fan base, I think the Cards will opt for a guy in the "high rent' district after getting some negative publicity of their own after the Kozma pick.

I hope so...b/c I believe the draft is about talent, not signability. I just am in the I will believe it, when I see it...group. If Brett Wallace and Christian Friedrich are the backup plans..then its going to be a great day.

I have heard scouts say that he is the surest bet to hit in the major leagues. There is always a place for a good hitter, even if it is not readily apparent right now.

Didn't mean that. 'tis the time for rumors! Just some of his comments seem pretty far-fetched, that's all. I just have a tough time DeWitt would sign off on any draftee for $12, but I suppose JD Drew is precedence there, sorta. no problems at all, obviously. Didn’t mean that. ’tis the time for rumors!
