Billy Beane Comments On Brett Wallace

JOHN SICKELS
The other big bat in Triple-A is Brett Wallace. Can he stick at third base?

BILLY BEANE:
Well we don't know for sure yet, but we won't take him off third base until he proves he can't handle it. His bat has come very quickly, he was just a year out of college and hit well in Triple-A. The bat looks special to us. Sometimes with guys like that, the glove gets panned by scouts just because the bat has come so quickly and they are looking for something to criticize. Also, I think Brett's defense gets panned unfairly because of the way his body looks.
