   I am not sure Luhnow has ever heard of upside?

   Basically the Cards are just taking everyone who had a good Summer at the Cape or Team USA

   Sounds like a high risk low reward kind of guy. Not a lot to like.

   I’ve been biting my tounge for the last couple of hours because I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt - they earned it after Kozma, Mortensen, Todd and Kopp have all turned out better than I expected. But I haven’t seen a single pick that has gotten me excited yet today. At least passing on Mehlville has been explained.

   His swing looks pretty good at least, and he did show well with the wood.

   Meh

   They are drafting very good college players…just not sure they are drafting any good MLB players.

   J.Curtis was by far and away the Thomas Eager pick of the 2008 draft.

   Do they let Bill DeWitt’s grandson pick the 5th round pick every year as a birthday present or something?

   Kozma just hit .189/.280/.221 for the month of May. I’m not sure you should continue to use him to justify giving Luhnow the benefit of the doubt.

   One great month and one bad month isn’t enough info for anyone to make conclusions on.

    No, but he’s currently carrying a .750 OPS despite a BABIP that he is probably not able to sustain, on the heels of an unimpressive debut last season. I wouldn’t say that performance warrants changing your opinion of the guy.

    Awesome. I never heard of this guy so I Google him, and the #1 result is his facebook, where he’s posing with some hot college chick in a costume.
