First things first: I’m as excited about the draft class that Steve Keim and the Cardinals just brought in as anyone. A robust 72% of RotBers graded the draft class as an A, and I was one of those votes. I pumped my fist at just about every pick—“How was that guy still available?!”
But. You knew the “but” was coming.
But we’ve done this dance before. Last year at this time, we were celebrating another draft class that received rave reviews. Many of us—myself included—let our expectations get a little out of hand.
