Every so often, someone here will ask "How is our wong performing?"

He should sign pretty quickly, and will start out at Quad Cities. He's considered a very polished hitter, so depending how he's faring, and depending on how Quad Cities, Palm Beach, or Springfield as a team is playing, the FO may consider promoting him to a higher level to help that team with their playoff run. That's what they did with Brett Wallace in 200&.JoeMcKim wrote:Has Wong signed yet? And if so what affiliate will he most likely be assigned to? Since he's a college player they ought as well skip over Batavia and Johnson City for him and send him to the Quad Cities IMO.
Cardinals signed first-round pick 2B Kolten Wong.
Wong was given a $1.5 million signing bonus and will report to Single-A Quad Cities. The second baseman posted a .492 on-base percentage this year for the University of Hawaii and was named an All-WAC player in all three of his college seasons. The 20-year-old could rise quickly through the Cardinals' system.
I agree with thatMrCrowesGarden wrote:Good to hear. I wonder where others would place him in the Cards prospect list at this very moment.
1. Shelby
2. Martinez
3. Cox
4. Wong
I think you almost have to go that way even with Zack's slow start at Springfield.
