After a brilliant career at Fullerton, the Giants wisely selected Brown with the 24th<\/sup> overall pick in 2010.\u00a0 In his first full season of professional baseball, Brown slashed an absurd .336\/.407\/.519 with over 60 hits for extra bases and 53 stolen bases for San Jose.\u00a0 I guess you could say that he could have walked more (47 walks in around 600 plate appearances), but there is very little to knock in his 2011 stats.<\/p>\n

He is about as easy an 80-grade runner as exists in the game today, and might actually improve as he matures on the basepaths.\u00a0 He is a double-plus defender with an arm that plays at average to plus with excellent accuracy.\u00a0 His mechanics to contact are very compact and sound, but there is a lot of reason to believe there is more thump to be gained before he reaches San Francisco.<\/p>\n

The Giants are a truly awful team at the plate and in the field and certainly will be tempted to rush Brown up, but the prudent move here is to let him gain several hundred at-bats in Double-A and Triple-A to improve his discipline at the plate.\u00a0 Brown has a chance to be a very special player so long as the Giants are patient with him.<\/p>\n
