Sean Casey comments on him picking JJ as 2nd player on his team.

‘ I am picking a kid I saw back in college another stud (reference to Ansinger calling Conner Griffin a stud on previous pick).
This kid can flat out play. Hit over .306 last year 17 HR 59 rbi stole 24 bags between Aa and AAA. He’s right on the cusp of being an impact bat for the Cardinals.’

Nice high praise from a former major leaguer who first saw JJ back in his college days.

It's reassuring to know that JJ is still expected to be a productive player 900 years from now!

It sure is ! I noticed that too well after the time period to 'edit' the typo . That doggone 9 on my keyboard is sitting just to the left of my 0 key . At least I idn't type 3036 and mistype a 3 for a 2 . JJ could have been with us even longer.
