The Orioles have had more than their share of disappointments with their premium draft picks in recent years, but they've also had unheralded, later-round picks emerge as surprise contributors. Brown, who was a senior sign out of Western Kentucky, is another to keep an eye on after he built on his strong 2003 debut with a solid season in low Class A. He had a 13-game hitting streak in 2003, then put together an eight-game and 10-game streak in 2004. Brown isn't outstanding in any particular area, but he can run and throw and he's athletic in addition to being able to swing the bat. He has played mostly at shortstop in his first two stops but also saw brief action at second and third base in 2004 and probably profiles as a utility player down the road. But he has already exceeded expectations, so he could continue to boost his stock in 2005 in high Class A.
