Hey Ben....thanks for keeping on...what is the story with Patrick Wisdom?...young and athletic. Is it strike out to hit ratio?

Yeah, it's interesting. In previous decades, we'd all be salivating about a Triple-A player who hit THIRTY-ONE home runs last season. But once we look past the neon flashing 31, you have to look at his other at-bats, and it's tough -- 149 strikeouts last year, 39 walks. A OPS of .817. Is that what you want out of a corner infield position? (Yes Carp was only .835 last year, but don't forget how he's a different because 1. a lot of those at-bats weren't at leadoff, where he shines, and he also walks sooooo much, which is enticing). So the Cards left "Patty Smarts" available for Rule 5, but no one took him, so they'll see if this Randal-like hitter changes some things up in the spring.

i had the same question. is that some reference to a character in literature, film or something else? otherwise he thought he was so funny to change patrick wisdom to patty smarts. this is not comedy.tlombard wrote:"Patty Smarts"??? Where did that come from?
Ah, Wisdom -> Smarts. Yep. That's what he did. What a hack. I'm embarrassed that I didn't catch that on my own.Jocephus wrote:i had the same question. is that some reference to a character in literature, film or something else? otherwise he thought he was so funny to change patrick wisdom to patty smarts. this is not comedy.tlombard wrote:"Patty Smarts"???
