2026 MLB Draft

Kareem with the quick video and sees it similarly as I do.

Owen Henne is not one I'm super familiar off-the-cuff. Probably a money saver.

Well, the broadcast had no clue who he was so I'm not alone. Went to "Seton Hill" not "Seton Hall."

Apparently a bat-to-ball middle infielder with good speed. Sorry friends, I don't know them all. Ha

Henne went to the same high school as Pirates second baseman Neil Walker and the same Division II conference as Matt Adams.

Derek Schaeffer is a reliever. Arizona State

Another money saver most likely. Great fastball traits.

Not really a guy I was really on, but is another young prospect.

Luke Harrison, meh lefty from Texas. Senior sign, stuff ticked up a bit this year. Low-90's, nice secondaries. Really performed in the SEC and is a bit older.

This is the price of their early draft performance as now they have to pay for it. Interesting specs on the secondaries and could find a way into the Pete Hansen mold (interestingly, also from Texas).

I'm guessing you see one more swing at some upside, probably in the 11th round, but otherwise college performers and guys with interesting data who will sign for under slot.

The Cardinals traditionally have been straight-up drafters post-11th round and most everyone is a $150K player (that's what you can spend post-10th round and not impact bonus pool). Then they are typically very stingy with the UDFA's and focus on their draft guys.

A senior sign catcher. Good glove, arm. Handles pitchers. Transfer from Kansas State to San Diego.

Right/Right hitter/thrower.

Jayden Lobliner, huge swing and miss. That's a very meh pick to me.

Is it weird that from what I’ve been reading; Rocco seems to be the only guy that may be over slot; and shouldn’t be by much. In fact Condon I’ve been reading should come under slot and his savings alone should cover Rocco….so why so many meh picks today? We should have plenty of money to take a swing before the 10th starts and we’re capped?

No big swing in the 10th round either; Nick Bonn RHP Cal Poly

Onto the 11th where we’re “capped” at 150 and never seem to go over
