Glaus has maintained his power over the past three seasons, is a bit younger, and will provide the Cardinals with a third baseman for the next two seasons (I'm banking on the fact that the Cardinals will convince Glaus to exercise his 2009 option). But there are a...

So if he's arguably the best hitting prospect in the minors and his defense is passable, then why not call him up? Ask Reggie Sanders, Emil Brown and Mike Sweeney.
