13. St. Louis Cardinals
PICK: Brett Wallace, "3B", Arizona State
I put 3B in quotes because there is no way this guy will be a major-league regular at the hot corner. There's a famous line in Moneyball in which Billy Beane says, "We're not selling jeans here," meaning that great baseball players don't always look like great athletes. The Cardinals must be buying into Beane's mantra.
Listed at 6-1, 245 pounds, Wallace is seen by some as the best pure hitter in the draft, but he might best be described as "voluptuous."
