at least in the eyes of Keith Law.

In a story discussing players who just missed the eligibility requirements for his Top 100 Prospects list, Law had the following to say about our old friend Brett Wallace.  Maybe the Cardinals finally "sold high" on a prospect

Brett Wallace
Missed by: 14 at-bats
Would have ranked: Off the list

Wallace had a slow start in 2010 and found himself traded (for the third time) shortly before the All-Star break, heading to Houston for center field prospect Anthony Gose. Wallace was in the big leagues shortly thereafter but struggled in 51 games. The way Wallace's rise to the majors has stalled out has been a hot topic among scouts this winter, since at the time he was drafted the debate was over whether he could play any position well enough to keep him off DH, not whether he'd hit. But the new consensus is that Wallace can't cover the inner half because he doesn't fully rotate his back side through his swing, ceding the inside part of the plate to the pitcher, and that it's not fixable. If anyone can help him, it's new hitting coach Mike Barnett, who was hitting coach in Toronto while I was in the front office ... but the industry has officially jumped off the Wallace bandwagon.
