This Saturday, July 11th, at 1 PM, the St. Louis Cardinals and the rest of the baseball world will descend upon Philadelphia, PA, as the site for the 2026 All-Star Game festivities. The draft being the first event of note to take place, and along with that, we will have you covered here on Viva El Birdos with all sorts of draft content leading up to and through Saturday!
This week, I will once again be joined by Joe Doyle of overslotbaseball.com to discuss the latest buzz around the draft 48 hours
before it begins and mine as many nuggets as I can from what he’s hearing about the potential direction the Cardinals could be headed this year. I also believe we have a live thread planned, and I will be writing articles about players selected on night one as they come across. 6 of the top 86 picks, pray for my fingers and wrists so I don’t develop carpal tunnel syndrome!
I’d like to open this thread up for questions from the peanut gallery, and I’ll take a few of my favorites to Joe to have answered, to the best of his ability. The future of Cardinals baseball is drawing nearer and nearer every day, and I will have you covered on that front all week long!
We will conclude draft coverage this week, visiting with Nate Rasmussen, who is scout-certified, a former pitching coach for Bushnell University, Owner of nwbaseballstats.com, and contributor to Overslotbaseball.com and JustBaseball media. With immersive breakdowns on all of the Cardinals’ Day 1 picks!
Leave your question in the comments section, and I will be checking in and out intermittently throughout the day!
