Speculating which prospect in short-season ball will block which prospect in short-season ball is like counting your chicks before the eggs are even laid.

I saw him hit. He is going to make it to the show, one of these corner Matt Carpenter/Allen Craig types. Just depends on how quickly he develops as to how much he maxes his values.

Might be a bit too soon to tell on him. When I saw him play he looked like he had an idea at the plate, so that is developing. Still raw with the glove and I didn’t see him make a play to his right that would test his arm. Gotta let this guy cook, PB next year.

Wisdom is an above average 3B with plus strong throwing arm doubt he’d be the one who would switch positions. Piscotty will move to a corner OF spot providing his line drive doubles stroke in the future. Wonder where Kelly will move so he’s not blocked by Wisdom at 3B too perhaps a corner OF spot as well?

I thought Wisdom was the very good defensive 3rd baseman. If so….would he be the one to move?

It will be interesting to see what level Walsh will be in next season he’s got some gaudy numbers in Low A this season in only 79 games .318/.431/.569/.1000 .251 ISO 16 HR 65 RBI also note that he’s a switch hitter with tremendous bat speed and incredible plate recognition and discipline. A question about Walsh is where does he fit defensively? A good comp for Walsh is a Scott Spezio type.

Kelly at Batavia seems unlikley given the Card’s history of player movement. it is rare for them to put a highy touted HS hitting prospect in Batavia. Not sure i remember the last one. Breyvic Valera is there this year and he is young as well so they may be changing their philosophy. The biggest reason I assume that they dont place HS kids there on their way up (aside from the fact most of the players in the league are much older) is that they want them to go to full season ball as soon as possible to get as much experience as quickly as possible.

Scouts say Williams will likely stay at SS in the next couple of levels ahead he’s got decent range and arm just inconsistent glove.
