1 frustrating but understandable reason why Cardinals may not call up JJ Wetherholt

St. Louis Cardinals top prospect JJ Wetherholt just hit yet another lead-off home run for the Memphis Redbirds on Tuesday night, continuing his tear at the Triple-A level and having fans clamoring for his debut to come sooner rather than later.

Well, as fun as it would be to see him in mid to late August (if the Cardinals deemed he was truly ready to make his debut), there is one factor that most fans aren't considering yet that may hold them back from making that promotion.

Yes, it's that pesky roster crunch, and no, I don't even mean the 26-man roster.
