Can't wait for him to face the Sod Poodles on the road....I expect 12 HR's in 6 games when he does

JJ Wetherholt will start season with Class AA
@Sgf_Cardinals
, POBO John Mozeliak says.

Top prospect was seventh overall pick this past summer and already within view of the majors with #SCards.

All 4 full season rosters will release over the next few days...probably starting tomorrow

Sweet, good to hear. I hope he’s still there when the Cardinals come to Frisco in early June.

[Ronnie Dobbs]

Awesome. Need to plan a trip to Springfield this summer.

[redbirdfan51]

Double A is about right for JJ at htis early stage of his career.

[scoutyjones2]

Pathetic...he should be at AAA.

[82birds]

good to hear
do well youngin'

[Monsieur De Treville]

Pathetic...he should be at AAA.

Why? You feel he is a nearly finished product after 105 minor league ABs?

He thinks college was his minor leagues and he should have started the season in the majors lol

Yep...laughable he's at AA

[jcgmoi]

laughable he's at AA

Then he should tear it up there and get bumped to AAA in a month. His development won't be hurt by facing AA pitchers and neither will his path to the bigs.

Sad a top draft pick at age 23, can't make, what many, on CT, think is a bad Cards team. Not even the AAA team

[markjatho]

Live in Springfield. Can't wait to see JJ destroy AA pitching until they ship him to Memphis.

Anybody with any sense doesn't have a problem with. No downside at all.

maybe but easier to push him to AAA in 2-4 weeks instead of sending him the other way ---- if he makes them push him.

[Strummer Jones]

That makes sense, Springfield. Maybe a bump up around the all-star break, with potentially a September call up?

[jcgmoi]

[/quote]It looks to be a bad Cardinal team but we're not talking about some colossus here but a guy who slugged less than his OBP last year, never a good mark for a hitter, and that was against A pitching. Give him time. If he's for real, he'll be pushed up a level, maybe two.
