Q: Tom from Philadelphia asks:If defense/ability to handle third base was not a concern, how high would Wallace have ranked?
A: Jim Callis: I think most people think Wallace will play an adequate third base for at least a couple of years, so his defense didn't torpedo his ranking. If he were better defensively, he'd definitely rank ahead of Mat Gamel (and did on my personal list). He might rank up with Matt LaPorta (No. 27).

Q: Steve from Atlanta, GA asks:Any love for Daryl Jones or Jay Jackson?
A: John Manuel: There was some; we have very mixed reports on Jones. Love Jackson but hard to think a ninth-round pick from the most recent draft should be in the Top 100. He had a great debut, and we've heard stories of how he fell in the draft, how he just wasn't crosschecked well, weather interfered, one bad outing, etc. He's better than a ninth-round pick, and a great sleeper, but I don't think any of us considered him a top 100 guy.
