Wacha 'unlikely' to make Opening Day roster
Michael Wacha - S - St Louis Cardinals
March 7, 2013 - 10:30 AM ET
Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said Thursday that while prospect right-hander Michael Wacha is "unlikely" to make the Opening Day roster, he has "opened eyes" this spring and deserves more innings.
Wacha, last year's first-round pick, has an 11/1 K/BB ratio over 7 2/3 innings this spring and has only allowed an unearned run. The 21-year-old right-hander is better off getting more seasoning in the minors for now, but he's clearly on the fast track to the majors.
