runner and extra infielder.  If all the Cards wanted was a hitter they would have put almost anyone else on the roster instead of Wong. He was fairly good in the Minors but just .153 in 32 games in the majors. 

Really? Picked Off At 1st Base With The Big Guy At The Plate. Really - Isn't Base-Running Your Specialty. RotoHockeyYTD2013 Oct 27, 20:57

Obstruction ! no? Pushing your teammate into the line? No .Oh yes...a fight between an Islander and a Flyer. That's the ticket {nm} mrbinns Oct 28, 06:17

No, he's a rookie 2B prospect who's specialty are hitting and fielding. {nm} Antibody Oct 28, 08:58

Uh no.. From a St Louis person they put him in for running speed. But he's a rookie who probably shouldn't have been on a WS roster {nm} JDolphin Oct 28, 12:32

oops hit enter instead of tab - he's definitely not there for the hitting and Kozma is better fielder. One of our youngsters was bound to JDolphin Oct 28, 12:35

Because Allen Craig has been hampered by injury. Wong is not known for his SBs. He was drafted for his hitting. {nm} Antibody Oct 28, 12:39

STL did not need a SB - they just needed a fast Base Runner, just like JDolphin (and Mike Matheny) said. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Oct 28, 12:49

He is faster than an injured Craig but that doesn't make base-running his specialty. {nm} Antibody Oct 28, 12:52

It supposedly was for the Bottom of the 9th - that's why Mike Matheny put him in there. RotoHockeyYTD2013 Oct 28, 13:07

Again, because Wong runs faster than the injured Craig. He made a rookie mistake, simply as that. {nm} Antibody Oct 28, 13:14

...and in the end, the highest rated show last night was the Redskins-Broncos overrun at 7PM. NFL beat the WS in 18-49 share. mrbinns Oct 28, 13:32

And unlike Kolten Wong, Peyton Manning being Picked-Off didn't cost them the game. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Oct 28, 13:44

People misunderstand that play. If you are upset with Kolten, you have it wrong. Instead, you should be happy for the Boston scouts. PRodQuanta Oct 28, 14:59
