[選秀] 第一輪第16順位: Brett Lawrie
BA球探報告(第37號新秀)：
37 BRETT LAWRIE, IF/C, Brookswood SS, Langley, B.C.
Scouts debate whether Lawrie is the best Canadian hitting prospect since
Justin Morneau or Larry Walker, but he's definitely created buzz in a draft
relatively short on high school bats, drawing some comparisons to Craig
Biggio. If he had a more defined position, he would be a cinch first-round
pick. Signed by Arizona State, Lawrie has too much present hitting ability to
wind up in college. One scout compared him to Marlins slugger Dan Uggla for
his strength, power and muscular, mature build, and several scouts have
graded Lawrie's power as above-average if not 70 on the 20-80 scale. He's not
just strong but also has a keen eye, offensive instincts, aggressiveness and
quick wrists that drive the bat through the hitting zone. On a spring trip
with his Canadian travel teams (Langley, B.C., Blaze and the Canadian junior
national team), Lawrie went 21-for-30 against extended spring training and
college teams, including 14 extra-base hits. He hit doubles off Kyle Davies
and Luke Hochevar in a game against the Royals' extended spring team. Several
scouts summed up his offensive approach by describing him as "fearless." He's
also athletic with above-average speed (6.75 seconds in the 60). Defense is
Lawrie's shortcoming; he plays infield and catcher and also has seen time in
the outfield, where one scout described him as "disinterested." He's shown
the tools to catch, as he's built for the position at 6 feet and 200 pounds,
and he has an average arm at the least. However, his bat might be too
advanced for him to take the time to learn such a valuable defensive
position, and some scouts doubt that he'd have the temperament to handle it
anyway.
