I Feel a Draft

My latest trade envelope arrived yesterday from TCDB member Bertons doubles.  He helped knock out a 2017 team set.


There were only 5 Cardinals in the 2017 Bowman Draft set.  I already had the Delvin Perez card.  Carlson was a #1 pick in 2016, while the other 3 players were drafted in 2017.  Hurst was in the 3rd round, Robertson in the 4th, and Kirtley in the 5th.  The Cardinals lost their first 2 picks because of the computer hacking scandal involving the Astros.  Hurst was their first pick at #94.  All 4 of these guys could start the year at low A Peoria.  Carlson spent all of last year there, but is still young and could use more time.  Robertson spent the last two months there, but is also young.  Kirtley and Hurst played short season ball after being drafted, but should be moved up early in the season.  Robertson is somewhat famous because his mom Kim Mulvey is the women's basketball coach at Baylor.

The non draft part of the trade was this 1996 Pacific Prisms Team Logo insert.  I would have guessed it was from the regular Pacific Crown Collection set, but I was wrong.
