...and tend to agree with everything you said. He very well could stick at third for the beginning of his career. He has one strange looking body.

It’s the first thing that came to mind when I saw a few clips of him at 3rd. I don’t expect a gold glove from the walrus but that guy appears to have the tools to play 3rd. He’s very light on his feet for a man of his size. As a California guy, I hope he hooks up with Skip Schu in the offseason for those killer workouts. Can you imagine Wallace with a chiseled body? The dude would be an MLB wrecking machine.

The Walrus and Ike Davis (Mets first round pick) and ASU teammates, got into a tussle about 20 minutes before the game today. Ike went after The Walrus, and the 2 wrestled to the ground, during what appeared to be pre game introductions. The announcers are below average, and have little idea of why it happened, but if you want to watch the game it is currently on ESPNU.

The Walrus walked in the first and has scored, once again showing good plate discipline.

i watched some of the ASU game last night and happened to turn it on right as the Walrus was batting. his presence was intimidating seeing those hulking thighs as everyone else has said. he subsequently went on an 13 or so pitch at bat battle with the pitcher. the pitcher had thrown around that many pitches in each of the last two innings. i was so impressed with how well he hung in there. he ended up striking out, but that was more due to a good pitch than him. it takes more than just brute strength to push a pitcher that long. his swing keeps on getting me more excited.

on a side note: i am so glad that everyone is thinking that the Walrus (by the way one of my favorite nicknames that will be sure to stick all the way to the big leagues) will be too fat and out of shape to amount to anything. he reminds me a lot of myself. i have found that wherever i have gone, no one has thought that i will amount to much of a baseball player because of my large, non-chiseled body. i keep on trying to prove my peers and coaches that i will be a force for baseball. i just hope wallace keeps on working hard and we both continue to show that you don’t have to be an all-american athlete to be a great ball player.

thanks for reading my short personal memoir, and i will be in your local barnes & noble to sign copies very soon.

There are certain players, at every level, with whom you can just feel plate presence. The Walrus is certainly one of these guys.

It also does not suck, that The Walrus is making a run at Barry Bonds ASU home run record.

Crushed a ball foul, than ripped a ball down the first base line that the first baseman made an unbelievable diving catch for. Would have cleared the bases for sure, but would have been interesting if he would have turned it into a double or a triple.

ASU coach claims that the Ike Davis/Wallace tussle was just “posturing”, “college kids “playing games”, firing up the team, so that is all that we will probably ever hear about the details.
