I like Wisdom more than Donovan.

Those two at 3B and 2B feels more like an MLB roster at least.

Maybe Young or Emerson can force their way up at some point, but hopefully Wisdom makes it hard to roll out the red carpet for them at least.

Why did they sign him, his career trajectory doesn't look very promising. What happened last year, was he injured?

He had an .856 OPS with 35 homeruns in the Korean league apparently.

Giving him a run with the kids in AAA gives us a decent depth situation. And he's not making much so they can move on if he sucks.

I would take Davis over any fringe guy. Dude is destroying baseballs and the sample, while still small isn't tiny.

Ok I take that back it is still tiny but significant in the nature of baseball destruction.

He deserves as much of a chance as Kelenic got, i would think.

I still remember Mike Zunino's 2018 spring, crazy hot
Performance: Hit 3 home runs in a single Cactus League game against the Brewers.
Streak: Over a 5-game span, he went 11-for-16 with 4 home runs and 10 RBIs.
Status: Manager Scott Servais noted he was "locked in" and ready for Opening Day.
His season... .201 /.259 /.410

That cured me of bothering about spring training
