How much do you value Keith Law--He predicts JJ Wetherholt will be a Super Star

Post by Bully4you »

That's not coming from me mate.
He said he already is a Super Star, as it were.
Just check out the following information:

In an interview on 101 ESPN's midday show "BK and Ferrario", Brandon Kiley and Alex Ferrario had Law on as a guest to talk about the Cardinals' draft from this past weekend and the state of the Cardinals' farm system. Law, when discussing the Cardinals' system, heaped massive praise onto Wetherholt that should excite all Cardinals fans.

"I can't say enough good things about JJ Wetherholt," Keith Law said on 101 ESPN's "BK and Ferrario". "He's a superstar. I just saw him again on Saturday at the Futures Game; he's going to hit. He's absolutely going to hit. He's gonna come up, I mean, he should come up this year. He's going to be ready. They'll figure out where to play him. I'm not even worried about that. If you have to move him to second base, fine. I don't care. He needs to be in the batter's box."

Kiley followed up by asking Law more about what he meant when he said Wetherholt is a superstar, and Law elaborated by saying Wetherholt can be a5 WAR player or more, the kind of bat who can post a .320 batting average consistently (a rarity in today's game) and do so while putting up 12-15 home run power, if not better, because his swing is so good. He went on to say that Wetherholt is the kind of player who you give the eight-to-ten-year extension to and you build your lineup around him long-term.

I mean, they should be thinking about what kind of long term deal they are going to be offering him relatively soon.

Hey it wasn't a trick question or a call out. Maybe Law did say it. I don't know. If so it would water down his impression of JJ. But I did wonder who "they" are. :D

Personally I have very high hopes for JJ to be a very good player. Floor of someone like Donovan. Ceiling? Well if Law is right he is the kind of player that elevates a team.

The Brewers gave an eight-year, $82 million deal to a then-19-year-old Jackson Chourio before he was in the majors. How's that worked out?

Not looking bad. Look seriously at Winn for an extended deal after this season if things go well. Then JJ after his second year if things go well.
