Wong and Piscotty are good players, but neither projects as a superstar type bat.
Mozeliak needs to tell Matheny to get the **** over the fact his butt-buddy Bible study partner is gone, and play the kid.

The Cardinals are not trading Taveras. That was made abundantly clear when they sold as low as possible on Allen Craig.
The FO is perturbed with Oscar because he put on about 20 pounds over the off-season as he rehabbed his ankle injury. Strauss says that the vets might be a little miffed by his work ethic, but I don't believe a word that rumor-mongering dipshit says, just offering you another opinion.
Wong was at 90 wRC+ this year. His biggest issue is plate discipline. As you've seen, he has legitimate pop, and he generates a ton of power for his frame. Despite his struggles, he was a 2.0 WAR player this year. He can provide the team with 10-12 million of surplus value annually.
