DateQuestionAnswer
2012-02-07 13:00:00Think Matt Adams will make the Cards opening day roster?
(Corey from Topeka, KS)
There's no position for him. (Kevin Goldstein)
2012-01-20 14:00:00Do you think Matt Adams skill set, both at the plate and in the field, will be sufficient to be a big-league regular?
(Jerry from St. Louis)
I do. Guys with power and his kind of contact rate tend to succeed. (Kevin Goldstein)
2012-01-20 14:00:00Mat Gamel or Matt Adams?
(Mario66 from Milwaukee)
Adams. (Kevin Goldstein)
2012-01-26 13:00:00Matt Adams - do you believe he can stick as the STL 1B of the future?
(Xavier from Texas)
I think he can become a second-division type, but I don't think he's a player that you pencil in your lineup for the next ten years and forget about it. (Jason Parks)
2011-12-14 13:00:00So, Matt Adams is going to be playing some OF this year. One of the best, or the best positional changes in the minors for the upcoming season in terms of "must-watchness?"
(Jake from New Trier)
I'd like to see Matt Adams track a ball in the outfield. That should be entertaining (Jason Parks)
