Tommy Edmon's wrist is not healing as quickly as was expected. What a shock. Cardinals' medical staff are clowns [View all]
Who constantly misstate the severity of injuries and under estimate recovery times.
But that is a topic for a different post. Let's rather talk about Victor Scott II.

Center fielder Vic Scott in 2 minor league season moved up from 29th Cardinal prospect to the 4th.
In 163 pro games (Not including Arizona Winter Ball) he's been PHENOMENAL;
These are his back of the basebll card stats:
Avg.290, 11 homers, 24 doubles, 14 triples, 75 RBIs and 107 stolen bases (in 124 tries).
That would be a pretty good year at any level and he did it going form rookie to Low A to High A to AA over 2 seasons
In the Arizona Fall league he hit .286 with .388 on-base percentage, three homers, two doubles, eight RBIs and 18 stolen bases in 21 attempts over 23 games with the Scottsdale Scorpions
In spring training this year, he's hitting almost .370 has 2 homeruns & a triple while making catchers look silly on the base paths.
And he's catching everything from left center to right center, scouts rate his speed as an 80 - His range is crazy.
Oh yeah, 1 other thing is going on in Spring Training.
That is that Cardinal Outfielders are getting injured (Edmon, Nootbar) or are flat out sucking in one facet of there game.
That would defense for Alec Burlesan and Jordan Walker and hitting for Dylan Carlson.

Just a week ago, I didn't think that there was any chance Vic was breaking camp with the big team, now I think he HAS TO
