from Cards Central · host STL Sports Central
The St. Louis Cardinals have named JJ Wetherholt their Minor League Player of the Year, but is he ready for the big leagues in 2026? Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer discuss the future of the Cardinals' top prospect and whether he should crack the Opening Day lineup. In this episode, the guys break down comments from Wetherholt and Pitcher of the Year Brycen Mautz. They analyze the risks and rewards of promoting top draft picks early, citing examples like Nick Kurtz and Jac Caglianone. Plus, they debate how Chaim Bloom should handle the infield logjam involving Thomas Saggese, Nolan Gorman, and potentially Nolan Arenado to make room for the future. ⭐️ Become an STL Sports Central Insider: https://stlsportscentral.com/2025/11/15/stl-sports-central-insiders Learn more about your ad choices.
