Contract Value Index (CVI)
Victor Scott II's one-year, $0.8M deal with the Cardinals earns a solid B- CVI, representing smart roster management for a club navigating their competitive timeline. At under a million annually, this contract provides excellent downside protection while giving the Cardinals a legitimate look at Scott's ceiling as their everyday center fielder. The 22-year-old brings plus speed and defensive versatility to a position where the Cardinals have lacked consistency, and his pre-arbitration salary makes him essentially free from a payroll perspective. While Scott projects as more of a serviceable starter than a franchise cornerstone, his youth and athletic tools offer upside that could exceed expectations if his bat develops even modestly. For a Cardinals organization that's been hesitant to commit big money to their outfield, locking up a potential everyday player at league minimum represents the kind of calculated risk that championship teams routinely make. The grade reflects both the minimal financial commitment and the realistic chance that Scott develops into a 2-3 WAR player who significantly outperforms his contract value.
Performance Analysis
Victor Scott II grades as a solid performer among MLB center fielders, earning a B- Performance grade. He is hitting with a 0.206 batting average and a 0.575 OPS (well below the league average of .720) this season. With 7 home runs and 47 RBI through 191 games (a 6-HR, 40-RBI pace over a full season), he brings limited power to the lineup. His 39 stolen bases add an elite speed dimension that creates additional offensive value. As a sophomore at 25, Victor is a key contributor for the Cardinals. A 191-game sample provides high confidence in this grade.
