Ten takeaways from the three days of the MLB draft, during which the Cardinals selected 41 players. We break them down by categories, including the pick who likely has the quickest path to the major leagues. 

One of the reasons Miles Mikolas signed with the Cardinals was because the team holds spring training in his hometown of Jupiter, Fla. He has found a pretty good home at Busch Stadium, too. 

A stretch of nine consecutive games against the three last place teams in the National League has not started off well for the Cardinals, who lost to the Marlins Wednesday night for the second night in a row. 

One of the players selected by the Cardinals on day three of the MLB Draft on Wednesday was right-handed pitcher Francisco Justo of Monroe College (N.Y.)  whose life story is just as good as his baseball ability. 

Alex Reyes underwent surgery to repair a torn tendon on Wednesday and will miss the rest of the Cardinals' season. He only pitched four innings on May 30, his first game since missing all of last year following Tommy John surgery. 

The Cardinals lost to the Marlins Tuesday night at Busch Stadium despite the return of Carlos Martinez and Yadier Molina. To hear the post-game interviews click the audio players.

The return of Carlos Martinez and Yadier Molina did not go quite like the Cardinals had hoped on Tuesday night as the Marlins won the opener of the three-game series at Busch Stadium. 

The Cardinals selected Texas Tech left-hander Steven Gingery in the fourth round of the draft on Tuesday despite the fact he had Tommy John surgery in February and won't be able to pitch until next season. 

Saint Louis University Baseball starting pitcher Miller Hogan was expected to go early and the junior ace for the Billikens did not disappoint. The right-handed pitcher became the highest draft pick in the history of Billiken Baseball after being selected in the sixth round by the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday.

The Cardinals made high school third baseman Nolan Gorman, considered to have the best raw power of any player in this year's draft class, their top pick on the first day of the draft Monday night.
