Give Kolten Wong Some Time To Grow
Kolten Wong carried plenty of demons into the 2014 season. Everybody around the globe remembered his exit in 2013. Getting picked off first to end a World Series game at Busch Stadium. The tears in Wong’s eyes as he confronted the media after the game and the honesty he provided to the reporters. When I saw him at the Winter Warmup a year ago, he was ready to put that all behind...

St Louis Cardinals: NLCS tied 1-1
It took a bit of muscle for the Cardinals to tie up the NLCS and ensure they’re not at a deficit going to San Francisco for game 3. Home runs off the collective bats of Matt Carpenter, Matt Adams, Oscar Taveras, and Kolten Wong, the latter a walk-off, in game 2 powered the Cardinals to a victory one night after being shut down by Giants ace Madison Bumgarner.
While the game one...

St Louis Cardinals: Kolten Wong’s Rookie of the Year chances

The Cardinals will rely on his bat to spark the bottom of the lineup through the playoff race. However, with his improved place...

What if the Wong plan was actually right?
How about Kolten Wong?!
Finally, we’re seeing the version of the young second baseman that we all expected hoped for. Since he rejoined the team (and overcame the ill-timed stomach bug that delayed his first game back), he’s done nothing but collect five hits (including two bunt base hits in one game and a bases-clearing double on Sunday), drive in three runs while scoring three...

Wong Demotion Highlights Changing Cardinal Tides
To say that the Cardinal offense has been stagnant of late would be about as gross of an understatement as possible. Until yesterday’s seven run outburst, the team had not scored more than four runs in a single game since April 17th. In the midst of this dry spell, they leaned as much on pitching as possible, but as is the case when a team is that lopsided, it played close to the...

Cardinals sign Mark Ellis as a $5.25 million insurance policy
The Cardinals announced the signing of second baseman Mark Ellis to a one-year, $5.25 million contract yesterday, which should all but conclude their Hot Stove League moves. Ellis, who will turn 37 next June, will head into the 2014 season as the Cardinals insurance policy for the unproven Kolten Wong. The second base job is Wong's to lose and he will likely be the Cards opening...
