Released by Padres
Wallace was released by the Padres on Sunday, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old was the 13th-overall pick back in 2008 with the Cardinals and has appeared in nearly 500 major-league games with the Astros and Padres. He was brutal at the dish in 217 at-bats in San Diego last year, however, batting just .189 with six homers, 20 RBI and a whopping 83 strikeouts. Things didn't get any better this spring, as Wallace's .179 average and 18 K's through 39 at-bats will show, which is what likely prompted his outright release by the club.

Believe it or not, Wallace appeared in 119 games for the Padres in 2016, while nearly two-thirds of his games played featured him as a third baseman. After flashing pop in a limited role in 2015, he failed to replicate that level of success in a larger part-time opportunity, whiffing at a 32.4 percent clip and hitting the ball on the ground at an elevated 51.1 percent rate. Wallace also had a reverse split last season, hitting righties at a paltry .171/.294/.320 clip, and his defensive work remains well below average. The former first-round pick has been unable to meet expectations throughout six years in the big leagues, while his career .238/.316/.389 line through 1,440 plate appearances may lead him overseas in the near future, as the allure of his body of work at Triple-A (career .302/.370/.479) is fading fast. He'll attempt to crack the Padres' Opening Day roster during spring training after returning on a minor league deal in December.
