Looks like MLB has slotted him in at 11 for the Cards, right behind James Ramsey.
This is a great deal. It also makes you wonder if Grichuk wasn't included in the deal specifically to make a Taveras/Profar trade more doable.
I'm still terrified of making that trade, to be honest. But the Cards have been on Grichuk for awhile (scouted him in 2009 for the supplemental draft, even did a pre-draft workout at Busch with him) and maybe they see him as a legitimate option for 2015 and beyond in RF.
