Ep. 618: Cardinals Draft Infielder JJ Wetherholt — Did They Land The Best Player In The Draft At 1.7?
Description
In Ep. 618 of B-Schaeff Daily, Brenden Schaeffer decides to completely ignore that disgusting Cardinals game from Sunday afternoon at Busch and focus entirely on the MLB Draft from Sunday evening.
The Cardinals made a splash with the seventh overall pick, selecting touted infielder JJ Wetherholt out of West Virginia.
Is there a chance that Wetherholt is the best player in the entire draft, but that he fell to the Cardinals due to lingering fizzle of his prospect hype due to a hamstring injury that is no longer bothering him while on the field?
Did the Cardinals just absolutely nail this thing by doing the obvious move once a stud dropped into their laps?
We dive deep into what the Cardinals are getting in this player, while making our best guess at a player comp based on everything we're hearing about the kid.
