Better lucky than good?! Cardinals crush lottery to land 5th pick in MLB Draft!
Brenden Schaeffer discusses arguably the most significant news to come out of this week’s Winter Meetings for the Cardinals, which is that the team CRUSHED the MLB Draft Lottery and ended up vaulting from 13th in the lottery odds to land the 5th pick in next year’s draft!
Plus, the Brewers selected Cardinals reliever Connor Thomas in the Rule 5 Draft – Is it a big deal or do we only think it is because it’s Milwaukee doing it, so they must know something that the Cardinals don’t?

Thanks for the members first pod B 😊 And, I'm not a farmer or have a log cabin, but if I did, I'd definitely call on your great sponsors 👍
There are 3 real good pitchers IMO. They do NOT need an OF.
I'm curious B-Schaeff, more of your personal take then your journalistic taste (even though I'm sure the two are conveniently intertwined)….in terms of players, who are your top 3 cause for concerns? and top 3 glimmers of hope?
Better lucky than good is my motto in life, so glad it came in at #5. I hope Mo is just holding out for a better deal for Arenado and Helsey. They are both worth getting a better deal than Robertson/Santos. I believe in going with the kids but still need to reinvest in one or two players to add to the team if not gotten in the trades.
It's 100% always better to be lucky than good… I'm hoping the cards can pull a future top end starter and a young 5 tool outfield prospect … Imagine an OF of a 5 tool kid + Walker Scott Siani. That's instantly the most athletic OF in baseball.
Puts some fun in draft day.
I hope they take a college player. Cleveland takes high schoolers often in the draft and they haven't had much luck with them according to the Locked on Guardians fellas. If a team can make the Cardinals pay for leaving a guy unprotected the Brewers can do it
Best starting flipping pitcher available!!!!!!!!!! :=8O
I believe the baseball gods have given us this gift as an apology for having to deal with Mo for another year.
I really like Jace Laviolette from Texas A&M
It a good pick 😊
As long as Mo doesn't make the pick!
Holiday & LaViolette are going 1/2 & both college starters most likely 3-4, if not we need whichever is left. Most likely Summerhill at 5 & im more than happyvwith that pic too.
Well this is good news will take it
Will they go after first basemen Kurtz from Wake Forrest or Condon from Georgia or pitching with that 5th pick?
I'd rather win 83 games and get the 13th pick than win 70 games and get a top pick. It drives me crazy that there's incentive to fail. I wish they'd do the lottery odds in reverse where the worst record has the lowest chance to get the #1 pick (amongst non-playoff teams and probably not luxury tax payers).
