Cards selected Matheny's son even after Mike told them that his son was going to college. Burnt a pick to save money.

Smart move?

I guess, saves money for other picks......team had four picks in the first 59 so they needed to stay under the luxury tax limit.

Haha I wish! At least the new house makes up for it I am VERY bummed though...a 2011 Finest Felix Hernandez purple refractor 4/5 popped up on ebay last night. It is THE LAST card I need to finish that rainbow. It had 9 days left to go at auction...but it just sold/got pulled this morning Soooooo damn close yet soooo far away!

EDIT: The Ichiro/Felix booklet is a live card from 2011: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ICHIRO-FELI...US_Baseball&hash=item5d33dd4679#ht_3005wt_952
