Should switch Wong and Kozma?

Post by JoeMcKim »

Kolten Wong is absolutely raking at AA while Pete Kozma at AAA, thats with Wong looking like a future star in the majors while Kozma will at best be another Joe Thurston where h bounces between AAA and mlb. I guess you could have them both at AAA, but you w
ould probably want to give the majority of the 2B at bats.

It's been a month, and it's not uncommon for guys to skip AA and go to the majors anymore.

Wong can dominate at AA until July and then reevaluate.

And when/if he's promoted Kozma can go to a bench role. His days are numbered, that's for sure. You might not have liked us drafting him in the 1st round when Porcello was available, but I think just about everyone expected him to be better than he's been with the bat. He's barely earned any of the promotions he's received. He could probably be back at QC right now and still not be hitting very well.

In regards to Wong, I expect him to spend most of the year at AA. I can't remember the last player we didn't give a full AA season to.

Wong and Kozma sounds like a law firm that does immigration work.

Would Kozma even still be around if he wasn't a first rounder?

Maybe we could trade him to Houston.

Kolten is absolutely raking right now and has been all year. Watching him last week in Little Rock I fell in love with his swing. I believe he was named player of the week as well.

Not to rush him by no means and needs still lots of AB's but if he is still doing this after the all star break...don't you move him to AAA? If he hits the second half at AAA he has a real shot as the starting 2b next year in St. Louis.

The kid is polished. He reminds me a lot of Biggio (only left handed hitter)
