Also, remember the success of a similar player…Brett Wallace.

If you can hit, you have value. If he is blocked, He can always be flipped if need be.

they pick Cox because he was the best college bat in the Draft. droped because cof signing concerns.
remember freese is and was injury prone.

I think they are going to give Tyler a long leash. Especially if they are winning.

Sure. We need those great hitter like Orlando Hudson, Kelly johnson and Danny Espinosa.

His OPS? So lets cherry pick the stats. Skips job isn’t to hit home runs, but what they hey. Lets use that as the barometer.

Your right. Skip sucks. He is no where near as good as those great second baseman you are discussing like Ryan Roberts.

But only if he is not on the 40 man roster of the Cards.

Exactly right. I’m not saying that Cox was a “bad” pick, I’m saying he was a “bad fit” pick. I don’t see where he was going to fit unless they thought he could play 2B. If they did, it was a mistake they quickly corrected with the selection of Wong. At the time the Cards selected him, he may have been more of an insurance policy for Freese and/or Carpenter, and it turns out the Cards won’t have to collect on the policy.

I think a guy is a free agent after 7 years of minor league time

Why not at least give Greene a try for the few weeks you would give DD. Greene has never got that few week chance.

No they aren’t mutually exclusive players. But Cox’s ML contract has been using up his option years. He’s gonna run out of places to hide.

Freese isn’t going anywhere soon. Moreover, Carpenter’s age is in the middle somewhere and his bat (also not impact but a little further along than Cox) shouldn’t be overlooked. Carpenter’s glove is also more developed than Cox’s at this point as well.
