He played third base during his most recent season at ASU and played third base for the Cardinals' minor league teams. He's certainly been passable there by all accounts, and the organization has mentioned he'll also see time in the outfield during spring training. Seems his future is much more likely at 3B or LF than 1B. There is no point in calling him a ‘first baseman’ – that’s 2007 information.

I said Cooper topped out at High-A, not Wallace... and I did say Wallace was playing 3B in the minors.

Watched some of the College World Series and he handled himself well there. Furthermore, he is projected as an Aramis Rameriz TYPE player, size, and caliber. Not a bad third base if he lives up to that... he has always played third. Watched some of the College World Series and he handled himself well there.

I saw him play at third this sumer for the River Bandits and he played the hot corner like he's been doing it for a little while, and made an amazing diving catch into the bleachers near third base. While he won't be a great defensive third baseman by any means, I think he might just stick there well enough to avoid being blocked by The Mang. hasn’t Wallace always played third base?
