Wisdom signed for $693,000. This is about $275,000 under MLB’s estimate for his draft position. The Cards saved some valuable bonus money for Trey Williams.

Didn’t read that. Let’s hope he develops more power.

Maybe because Mo said that he was most likely an outfielder long term?

I’m actually starting to agree and come around on him. I figured something went on if he dropped 90 points from 2011 to 2012.

Why wouldn’t Piscotty play 3rd? Is he not capable? Hope he takes a lesson from Colin Walsh and learns to undo the dreaded Stanford swing and use his hips more.

If you look closer, Wisdom hit 351 in 2011. The problem with 2012 was he was not pitched to, no hitting coach at St. Mary’s College. This kid has power potential and is a 4.0 Dean’s list, coachable and has a gun for an arm. Have watched him develop and with some good professional coaching, he will make his big league start in 2016. Big muscular body type. Who cares if he hit 262 last season – it’s what he does in the minors that matters. I like this pick and he and Piscotty (who will NOT play 3rd base – pay attention) are a wrecking cru. Good college players who are mature and ready to work hard. High Schoolers are in the need of baby sitters and cannot hit off of top pitching. Good picks by the Cards, did their homework.

At least we got Kelly and Williams later on, although they may not both sign…

[...] was forced. $9.1 million over 14 picks is not going to sit well with some of the players agents. Patrick Wisdom was pick #52 and Stephen Bean was #59. Wisdom hit .262 in college. Future Redbirds does have some [...]
