Baseball America Thoughts On Cardinals 2010 Draft

Lake (STL, MO): Percent chance Wilson signs with the Cardinals? Did they pick him in case they can't sign Cox?

Jim Callis: Maybe 5 percent. Austin Wilson is about as unsignable as anyone in this draft. I think he would cost significantly more than the Cardinals plan on spending on Zack Cox, who was a steal at No. 25. Biggest steal in the first round.

-----------------------------------------------
Mike (St. Louis): Two parter: 1) What kind of numbers will Zack Cox put up in the majors? 2) Shouldn't the Cardinals think about Cox as a second baseman since David Freese looks to be a very good player for the next 5-6 years at 3rd for St. Louis?

Jim Callis: .300 hitter with at least 15 HR a year, and I think that's conservative. I love Cox as much as anyone, but I don't think 2B is a realistic option.
