I don't buy it. He had a lot of holes in his game, and they were visible at times in Springfield: http://bit.ly/Dg0jH ESPN.com mentioned that Wallace could be in the majors later this season.

I really do like Buchholz, though. Hmm...I'd have to think more about that one. It’s an interesting proposition, but I don’t normally like trading a top hitting prospect for a pitching prospect.

These guys are closer to the next level, and more teams get a chance to watch them seriously. They provide value for trade. Also depends n who is up for FA next year. As far as the rule 5 guys looking bad, that's usually something that teams do, it's the only way they can protect them.

Just like Tony Gwynn, Gary Sheffield and other past hitters you know it when you see them hit. There is just something different about the way the ball jumps off thier bats other than roid use.

The guy inpresses me as a machine. Bat him in front or behind Albert. In front of Albert and how many times do you think Albert would come up with guy on? 40% of the time? No more piching around Mr Pojols. Wallace reminds me of John Kruk except he is not a total tub like Kruk was. I just see the guy as being a top big league hitter some day sooner than later.

He throws Wallace's name out there as a suggestion. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/9594362/Mets-get-hot,-then-fall-back-into-state-of-flux Thoughts?

Rick Ankiel may possibly not activated until Fri. This just in Shane Robinson has been sent to AAA and Nick Stavinoha stays with the big club. Rick Ankiel may possibly not activated until Fri.
