Brett Lawrie, Blue Jays AAA prospect

Yes, just a prospect, so no MLB numbers to add for my argument, but he doesn't look too appealing in game.

Preseason prospect rankings for him looked like this:
Ranking in ScoutingBook (6/23/2011): #17
Ranking in MLB.com/MiLB.com Season Preview: #28
Ranking from Sports Illustrated/AOL: #45
Ranking from ESPN: #37
Ranking in Baseball America 2011: #40
Ranking in Baseball Prospectus: #67

He is not listed in the top 100 prospects in OOTP12.
His current AAA numbers: .354, with 15 hr and 51 rbi's in 52 games
OOTP projects him to hit .227 with 12 hr's and .360 slg for a full MLB season, while rotochamp projects a .253 with 6 hr's and a SLG of .418 the rest if the way.

My point is he's a top prospect. He was coming into the season. His potential needs a boost IMO. Maybe a 14/14/11 would do the trick.
