So I’ve got a bit of a conundrum this morning. See, the thing is, I was planning on doing a relatively brief preview of the Rule V draft today, seeing as how said event will be taking place tomorrow, on the final day of MLB’s winter meetings. I was actually pretty excited to do so, as well; there are a couple guys potentially available I think could be really nice pickups for the Cards, filling in specific needs with useful young players.
A funny thing happened, though, when I pulled up the Cardinals’ roster to make sure I wasn’t forgetting about any players I needed to mention when covering this subject: I discovered that the Redbirds are already at 40 players on their 40 man roster, and will thus be unable to actually select anyone in the Rule V draft.
