Season Preview

MinorLeagueNotebook.com has a Midwest League preview. This consists of a Prospect to watch and Other prospects to watch...

Wisconsin Timber Rattlers (Milwaukee Brewers)

Prospect to watch for in 2009
Brett Lawrie has a ton of power in his swing and that was something he showed off with a wooden bat last spring on a trip to the Dominican Republic where he had 114 extra base hits in 30 at bats against DSL teams. He is raw defensively at catcher, but has the tools to stick behind the plate with some work.

Other prospects to watch for in 2009
Jake Odorizzi (RHP) and Cutter Dykstra (OF).

Just out of curiosity....

Clinton Lumberkings (Seattle Mariners)

Prospect to watch for in 2009
Jharmidy DeJesus split time between the Arizona League Mariners and Everett where he hit .309/.376/.530. DeJesus signed a $1,000,000 out of the Dominican Republic and hasn’t looked back yet. Expect him to be an offensive force in the Clinton line up.

Other prospects to watch for in 2009

Mario Martinez (3B), Tyson Gillies (OF) and Brandon Maurer (RHP).

Keep in mind all rosters are not final for Low-A ball until the teams leave their Spring Training sites. And even then it may have some changes before Opening Day.

"114 extra base hits in 30 at bats"? I knew Lawrie was good, but let's put the kid in the Hall right now for that feet.
