MLB Draft - #25 Pick Edition

One thing that you'll probably discover over time is that I am a huge St. Louis Cardinal fan.  I fully realize that by saying this, some people will no longer read this blog, which is exactly why I'm saying it in an early post before anybody is actually reading the blog to begin with - you can't say I didn't tell you!

With the #25 pick, the St. Louis Cardinals drafted 3B Zack Cox, a sophomore out of the University of Arkansas.  At the time of the draft, the Razorbacks were playing Washington State for a birth in the Super Regional.  Shortly after being drafted, Cox continued a long-standing tradition for Cardinal third basemen.

Following in the shoes of Troy Glaus and Scott Rolen, Cox came out of the game because of a 'minor' injury.  When asked about possible injury concerns, Cardinal GM John Mozeliak said, "We are planning on Zack making his major league debut on the DL.  We really think we can get him through the minors in no time, so he can start his career of rehab and bench-warming right away."
