Kevin Goldstein Chat 5-7-09

Nick (Alton, IL): Hey Kevin, can you give me a update on Brett Wallace? I know he is raking on offense but is his defense getting any better at 3b or are the cards going to have to move him? they really have no room in the of for him and that pujols guy is at first. thanks.

Kevin Goldstein: Since when is .266 raking? Seriously, I have no issue with that bat, but the glove is the same -- makes the plays he gets too, just doesn't get to many of them.
----------------------------------------------------

NB (IL): Is there anything in the minors for a Cub fan to be excited about other than Vitters?

Kevin Goldstein: Sure, I just wrote about Chris Carpenter the other day.
-----------------------------------------------------

Ben F (California): I notice that you gave Daryl Jones four stars but he didn't make the top 100. Did he just miss the cut? Were there other four star guys that didn't make it?

Kevin Goldstein: Yes, he just missed. Yes, I'd probably put him in it now. Seriously people, is there some organized movement to pick ONE guy in each of my chats and bombard me with questions about him. Is Daryl Jones the new Jeremy Hellickson who was the new Tyler Clippard?
-----------------------------------------------------

Jjack (Cleveland): Who is more likely to be a MLB regular Niko Vasquez or Devaris Gordon?

Kevin Goldstein: Gordon. Bet on the tools.
