    View Draft Report
    Brignac is a solid third-round talent, and the Yankees are said to have even stronger interest, but his strong commitment to Louisiana State may cause him to slide. A center fielder in the past and a shortstop this spring, Brignac projects as a pro third baseman or corner outfielder. He generates a lot of bat speed from the left side and drilled a long homer off Walker in late April. Brignac's loose, athletic build (6-foot-2, 170 pounds) leaves plenty of room to add strength, and he runs well. He finished his high school career by hitting .417-11-58 and helping St. Amant win the state 5-A championship.
