From behind the subcriber wall

Baseball America has their 2008 Draft Report Card for the Milwaukee Brewers behind the SUBSCRIBER WALL on their website.

I don't want to give away too much, but... here are a few teases to maybe get you to purchase the latest edition of BA or maybe get the subscription to their website.
Best Pure Hitter: C/IF Brett Lawrie (1), the best Canadian hitting prospect in a decade, has tremendous bat speed and a feel for hitting combined with extreme confidence. He'll need polish but most scouts believe he'll hit for average.

Best Fastball: LHP Evan Frederickson (1s) sat at 91-93 mph this spring, then reached 97-98 in a predraft workout. He had a dead arm after signing, though. RHP Trey Watten (7) has shown mid-90s heat at times

Most Intriguing Background: [Cutter] Dykstra's father Lenny had a 12-year career with the Mets and Phillies, leading both to pennants. Lawrie made the Canadian Olympic baseball team, while his sister Danielle pitched for Canada's Olympic softball team.
That's all for now, folks.
