Ask BA: How Good Or Bad Is Brett Wallace's Defense?

Cardinals third baseman Brett Wallace seems to just hit line drives all over the place. He began this season with two homers and six RBIs in the opener for Double-A Springfield. Yet he isn't projected as a star in the big leagues. Is his defense really that bat at third base, or is it just because Albert Pujols is in front of him at first base? Considering that he raked all the way to Double-A last summer after St. Louis made him the 12th overall pick, I'd have to think he'd be a much bigger prospect if he were playing first base.
