Brett Lawrie next young MLB stud

Go look at his #'s away from cashman field. There isnt really a big dropoff whatsoever. He is leading the entire league in hits, total bases and runs. He is leading ALL of professional baseball, including the majors in extra base hits and total base's. Let that sink in for a second. Sure the PCL helps offensive numbers but I dont care what league you play in , the fact is he's utterly dominating the second best league. Other top prospects like Ackley or Moustakas arent ripping up the PCL.

Sure Cooper and Thames struggled when called up but they are nowhere close to the prospect Lawrie is. Ill be sure to bump this thread in a week or so when they call him up. Only reason he hasnt already been called up is because of the super 2. His defence has been more then capable the past few weeks and most of his troubles came right at the start of the season.

Designate Nix?

Thames, EE, Nix.

These guys are spare parts.

Not trying to be a jerk, but Lawrie is being called up after the super 2.

his K/BB ratio has greatly improved in the last 15 games after Anthopolous told him to be more patient at the plate.

I just looked up his #'s on the road. He's actually been better on the road then then cashman field.

On the road

.375 batting average

1.099 OPS

.436 OBP vs .392 at home

Straight up the kid is dominating the league

Ackley's OPS is .866 with a .292 batting avg

Moustakas OPS is .824 with a .278 batting avg

A ballpark can certainly help but it doesnt add 150+ points to your OPS. That is just crazy talk. Both of these guys are struggling in regards to the hype. Both are seen as top 15 prospects and Lawrie is absolutely schooling both of them while being 1-2 years younger.

Moustakas is struggling.

A batting average under .280 with a OPS under .850

Thats gross from someone who is considered the best 3rd base prospect in the minors.

Yep people that say his still striking out too much and not walking enough arent following him closely. AA said that at the start of the season Lawrie was trying to kill every ball and wasnt being patient. They ask him to become more selective and boom he all the sudden starts talking more walks and K'ing less.

Just saw Keith Law's top prospect list, has Lawrie rated #11.

Cant believe they still have Montero that high at #3.

Like I said earlier in the thread, hes going to be called up very soon.

Rumour from the writers who cover the team is hes being called up friday for the Baltimore series.

 Id say David Wright with Jeft Kents personality

He's a 3rd baseman now so it won't take too long for him to gain that eligibility.

We're on the same page. We heard the same thing and it may have seemed like just last week...but he said that a pretty long time ago.

Blue Jays fans and fantasy owners can let out a huge sigh of relief. Lawrie tweeted the information himself while the news was confirmed by Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos via Buster Olney of ESPN.com. He'll likely need to miss a couple days, but he's still on the fast track to the big leagues.
