Comments on: Brett Lawrie: Third Baseman…or Second Baseman? http://jaysjournal.com/2010/12/10/brett-lawrie-third-baseman-or-second-baseman/ A Toronto Blue Jays Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More Mon, 17 Dec 2012 19:16:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Mylegacy http://jaysjournal.com/2010/12/10/brett-lawrie-third-baseman-or-second-baseman/comment-page-1/#comment-2207 Mylegacy Fri, 10 Dec 2010 21:01:52 +0000 http://jaysjournal.com/?p=2785#comment-2207 Lawrie thrills and scares me in equal parts. Apparently, he has excellent hands but not great footwork - so I've read - might be poor at 2nd but doable at 3rd - IF the arm can do it...when all is said and done I wouldn't be surprised to see him in RF or LF - depending on the arm. What SCARES me abut the guy is that he's so hyper and cocky I think he's gonna be a hand full or immature hormones when he realizes his bat is not going to get him to the Bigs - unless his defense plays SOMEWHERE. I think the kid is a mid-2012 call-up at the EARLIEST - IF - his defense starts to be MLB average or above somewhere. Hope his head doesn't explode by then - I wouldn't be too surprised if if actually did explode. I really see this guy as immature and high maintenance. Lawrie thrills and scares me in equal parts.
