The Book on Brett Wallace
Prospect Info
Brett Wallace
Born 8/26/1986
3B, HOU
One of the most-traded young bats in the minors, Brett Wallace is a power hitter who's already been the third baseman of the future for the Cardinals and Athletics and Blue Jays. Now he's an Astro, and one good thing about that is that he's likely to get a shot sooner in the depleted Houston system. A nominal third baseman with slow feet, most scouts seem to think he'll need to be moved to first base sooner rather than later, and with the end of Lance Berkman, there's a very large opening for him there now. With little left in his way, his big lumber should be an everyday fixture in Houston before the end of 2010.
