Lawrie took extra batting practice with hitting coach Chad Mottola on Thursday after struggling in his first two games since returning from an oblique injury, the Blue Jays' official site reports. "He's lost rhythm, that's about it," Mottola said of Lawrie prior to Thursday's game. "I think a safe bet [for him to find his rhythm] is 10 days. I think he can do it before then, but to expect more than that is kind of unfair."

RotoWire's Preseason Outlooks

2013

Subscribe now to see our 2013 outlook.

2012

Lawrie darn near hit his way onto the Opening Day roster with a torrid spring training but the team opted to send him down to Triple-A to work on his defense at the hot corner. He never stopped hitting, but a broken hand pushed his major league debut back about six weeks before getting the call in August. A fractured finger ended his season in late September but the 21-year-old showed plenty of promise in the 43 games he did play, displaying a nice combination of power and speed in the process. He'll be entrenched as the team's starting third baseman and should provide plenty of offense in his first full year in the bigs.

2011

Lawrie had a solid season in 2010, hitting .285/.346/.449 in 554 at-bats for Double-A Huntsville as a 20-year-old. He only hit eight home runs, but many scouts expect his power to increase as he gets older. His defense at second base is panned by scouts and he could end up as a corner outfielder. Lawrie was traded to Toronto in the offseason for Shaun Marcum, and he should start the season at Triple-A as the Blue Jays try to figure out where they want to eventually work him into their lineup.

2010

While Lawrie's line of .274/.348/.454 at Low-A Wisconsin may not look impressive, keep in mind that the Midwest league favors pitching and that he was a 19-year-old for the entire season. Scouts still rave about his bat speed and while his defense at second base is a work in progress, it looks like it may become adequate in time. The Brewers will likely start Lawrie off at Double-A Huntsville and see how things go from there. His path to the majors is currently blocked by Rickie Weeks, but Weeks is a free agent after the 2011 season and the Brewers would love to have a replacement ready.

2009

Lawrie was taken in the first round of the 2008 draft, but has not yet made his pro debut. He played with the Canadian national team instead, where he played catcher, but he can also play second or third base. The Brewers will try to develop him at catcher and hope that he can move up to the majors in three or four years.
