1. Brett Wallace

Q: Katie from St. Louis asks:
At this point in time, who would you give the nod to as the top overall Cardinals' prospect - Rasmus or Wallace?
A: John Manuel: Still Rasmus, he has more ways to win. I am the office Wallace apologist, and I actually have talked to scouts who believe he can handle third base in a below-average to fringe-average fashion. He has plenty of arm (55 arm strength), that's not the issue, it's his large lower half and agility. if he handles third base it still would be short-term. Dude can rake and I think him spending one, two or even three years at 3B in MLB isn't out of the question. He's also a smart, savvy baserunner. That said, I still think 30 out of 30 clubs would rather have Rasmus.
