Will Middlebrooks

The elephant in the room is still the awful plate discipline. We've seen young players that had very good plate discipline completely fall apart in their rookie or sophomore seasons. without making a top 15 list my gut says that he will probably be around #15 because there are a lot of Alberto Callaspo types out there. Overall he's a guy that I want to take a flier on as a bench player (upside) but I would be very scared to draft him as a starter.

If he has the starting job in that Boston lineup then without a doubt I will be targeting him in next years draft. Frazier is another 3b I will be looking at closely in 2013 should he be the starter for the Reds. I would be more than happy with them as my 3rd baseman if I can acquire them in the double digit rounds.

I see Middlebrooks compare to Trumbo quite well. Maybe not exacly stat for stat but they are the same type of player to me.

Thats actually a pretty good comp Izenhart, including tempered expectations.
