The Book on Brett Wallace

Prospect Info


STLBrett Wallace
Born 8/26/1986
3B, STL

Much like Texas selecting Smoak in the 2008 draft or Houston taking Castro, the Cardinals move to take Brett Wallace is a bit of a head scratcher. A power hitting third baseman with slow feet, most scouts seem to think he'll need to be moved to first base sooner rather than later. And don't the Cardinals already have a pretty good first baseman? Maybe St Louis just couldn't pass up his bat, which some think is better than any other hitter in the draft other than Alonso. Talent first, need second.
