How does the owner walk back his statement that basically said no way in hell we trade Tulo? What about his effort in that series when we played him? A fluke? Quote:
Ties back the Tulo trade. One young stud pitcher/Adams/AA prospect should get us Tulo, orrect?

Hamas, biggest reason why I say they need to keep Beltran. Both Beltran and Craig are going to need rest to stay fresh. Plugging three guys into the two spots in 1B and RF does that. Plus it allows us another right handed bat against lefties.
Your scenario with Wong has Tulo replacing Freese's production, Wong replacing Kozma's. A plus on the first, probably a push on the second although its possible Wong can fail worse than Kozma based on his early numbers.

He certaintly handled his bonehead rookie play in the WS like a veteran. Goes to his charector and work ethic. He is also Hawaiian and wants to be the first All-Star hawaiann in baseball. Wong will be fine as our 2B for 10 years..............unless he is traded. But, you have to believe his trade value has dropped so much that you can't trade him at this time.

Here's another way to put it: The difference between Kozma and Jon Jay is equivalent to the difference between Jon Jay and Paul Goldschmidt.

Pete Kozma has been a terrible hitter since A ball. He was below league averages every step of the way, sometimes significantly so. Say what you will about Wong, but he has been consistently above average for the league. Wong's probably just a solid starting 2B, and I am no fan of his, but your expectations aren't grounded in reality

If it weren't for Mizzou it wouldn't have hurt as bad, it was a horrible week.

Wong potentially brings golf glove d at 2 and a decent stick. Nothing above average at the plate, but average. He also is a base stealing threat, which is something we haven't had recently.
I'm really thinking it ends up being Tulo they target. The front office has stated they have the money and flexibility to add another core player this offseason. He'd be that. |

I can say he's going to be better than Kozma because only one person, ever, in the history of the franchise has been worse over a 500 AB season.
