Q: Greg from Los Angeles asks:
Do you see Wallace stayin at 3rd for St Louis? They drafted another 3rd baseman in the middle rounds (Jermaine Curtis) who also seems to have the potential to change positions. Will both stay at the hot corner or will one/both be projected to change?

A: Jim Shonerd: There's very little chance Wallace sticks at third for the long haul as a professional. The Cardinals are giving him a shot at the position for now, but he's already committed two errors (both throwing) in his first eight games and his body makes a move to first look inevitable.

Jim Shonerd: With Curtis, it's more about whether his bat will play at third, although he's also been cited as lacking arm strength. Both are projected to move to the right side of the diamond, but I would say Curtis has a better shot.
