2007

Cardenas was the 37th pick in last year`s draft, a supplemental first-rounder from a Miami high school. His makeup couldn`t be more different from his fellow first-rounders; Cardenas graduated near the top of his class and entertained guests at his draft party by playing Liszt and Gershwin on the piano. He also led his high school team to the state championship by hitting .647 and slugging 1.319, earning Baseball America`s High School Player of the Year award, and finished up by raking in the GCL. He`s an outstanding hitting prospect who will probably move to second in the future.
