Live body, lean strength. Polished defender, outstanding arm strength, has some flash. Fluid swing, low effort, quick to the ball, projects power, more bat speed with more strength, Pujols hitting style, can wait on off speed. Potential offensive middle infielder. High ceiling talent" Pujols hitting style..good style to try:) I really like this pick..at worst he becomes a offensive 2B. Perfect Game on Niko

I really like this pick..at worst he becomes a offensive 2B.

Going back to school cost him a lot of money. Cardinals would have paid more. So that uproar last summer over the Cards' cheapness was all for nothing?
