I think that it was in reference to the Mortenson pick that Luhnow said "We believe we had better information." Mortenson needs to project as more than a middle reliever this year to bear that out. Kozma and Ottavino need also to project as impact players. Luhnow and company have done a great job of getting interesting prospects with the later picks but we've had a lot of extra early picks the last three years and we need more than just Colby to come through as above average players.

I'm not one who's in the 'Keith Law hates the Cardinals' camp, I think he just evaluates players a little differently than they do; thus, I'm not surprised Mort isn't his cup of tea. He did imply, though, that he hadn't seen a whole lot of Mortenson, so hopefully the kid does something to change Law's opinion of him. I definitely think that the Mike Moutakas love is just out of control at the moment. Don't get me wrong, he's very impressive, but how's about we see him play a full season before we put him in the top 5 in all of baseball.
