Kolten Wong

#1 Post by Euronymous »

Of course his pace isn't sustainable, but is there anything at all in this cat's profile that suggests he could be 10-team relevant this season? I'd really hate to miss out in this year's Jose Ramirez, after all!

The skills have always been there. Health, consistency and the fact the Cardinals always have other options have gotten in the way of Wong concreting his role. So yeah, it's definitely possible. It'd be better if he was hitting higher in the order, but maybe that'll come.

Thank you for your analysis, Todd! As crazy as this would have seemed to me even a week ago, I dropped Darvish for Wong in my shallow 10-teamer. I just lost Daniel Murphy for a while, and I'm rolling the dice that Darvish doesn't right the ship this season, which I think is actually a pretty decent bet.
