Two-Star Prospects
11. Logan Schafer, OF
Four More:
12. Mark Rogers, RHP: Rogers’ stuff was outstanding after missing two years
due to shoulder problems, but can he pitch more than three innings every five
days?
13. Caleb Gindl, OF: He’s a small outfielder and very low on tools, but his
production at the plate has been impressive.
14. Jake Odorizzi, RHP: He has advanced command and control for his age, but
Odorizzi’s stuff has yet to take the expected step forward.
15. Zach Braddock, LHP: This power lefty took a big step forward with a move
to bullpen; he has the ceiling of a set-up man.
1. Alcides Escobar, SS
DOB: 12/16/86
Height/Weight: 6-1/180
Bats/Throws: R/R
Drafted/Signed: Venezuela, 2003
2009 Stats: .298/.353/.409 at Triple-A (109 G); .304/.333/.368 at MLB (38 G)
Last Year’s Ranking: 1
Year in Review: The Brewers’ top prospect recovered from a slow start at
Triple-A Nashville to grab hold of the big-league shortstop job.
The Good: Escobar is a spectacular defender with easy Gold Glove
possibilities. Combining outstanding instincts with 65-70 speed (on the 20-80
scouting scale), he shows other-worldly range to both sides, outstanding
fundamentals, and a tick above-average arm. He's developed into a good
line-drive hitter who uses all fields and can occasionally drive balls into
the gap. He has enough speed to produce 30-40 stolen bases annually.
The Bad: Escobar will never be a power threat, and he needs to develop a more
patient approach to fit at the top of the lineup. He can rush himself
defensively on run-of-the-mill plays at shortstop, leading to unnecessary
errors. He's consistently hit lefties much better than righties throughout
his career.
Ephemera: In Escobar's 45 games for Lara in the Venezuelan Winter League, he
hit .393/.440/.491. In 14 of his games played, he had three or more hits.
Perfect World Projection: He’ll be a plus-plus defender at short who hits
.280-.300 and steals bases, but he has little else in terms of secondary
skills.
Path to the Big Leagues: Barring an unforeseen disaster, Escobar's
minor-league career is over.
Timetable: After hitting .304/.333/.368 in a late-season audition, the
Brewers handed Escobar the big-league job by trading away J.J. Hardy. He's
the Brewers’ shortstop of the future, and that future is now.
2. Brett Lawrie, 2B
DOB: 1/18/90
Height/Weight: 5-11/200
Bats/Throws: R/R
Drafted/Signed: 1st round, 2008, Brookswood SS (BC)
2009 Stats: .274/.348/.454 at Low-A (105 G); .269/.283/.308 at Double-A (13 G)
Last Year’s Ranking: 2
