Yeah probably DL for Berkman. Might as well for now.

Wong reminds me a little of Jose Vidro. Gets the 'pro's pro' label quite a bit. Sound, compact, level swing with good gap power. Looks like he should be a plus defender (good range, not elite; same with his arm - makes up for it with quick hands).
At his best he should be a guy that gets talked about as a GG contender, but probably won't win one. Maybe a .310-.320 with 15 HRs and maybe 20 stolen bases.
Think of him as being a slightly more consistent version of Jon Jay as a hitter with a Tommy Herr style glove. Or hell, just call him Tommy Herr with more power.
He should be a fast riser; I'd expect him to man the pivot by the end of the 2014 season at the latest; perhaps even by mid 2013 if Descalso's bat doesn't come around and Wong hits his way into the picture in AAA.
