Picks come fast (and they hope fruitful) on Day 3 as pitcher-picking Cardinals try to fill out 'portfolio'

The word that Cardinals' draft helmsman Randy Flores used late Tuesday night was "portfolio," and after a pitcher-heavy start to the 2019 Major League Baseball Draft that is exactly what he'll use Day 3 to fill out for the club.

The picks will come fast and furious during the final day of the annual amateur draft -- they've already started rolling in over -- as teams complete rounds 11 through 40. There is talent to be found, but for the Cardinals there is also depth. After selecting seven pitchers in their first 10 rounds and two outfielders, the Cardinals had yet to take an infielder by the start of the 11th round and only one catcher.
