41. Brian Dozier
Shortstop
Age: 22
ETA: 2013
Potential: Starting shortstop
2010 outlook: Starting shortstop in low A
Brian Dozier was taken in the 8th round of this year’s draft. He played college ball at the University of Southern Mississippi. He had a great season in rookie ball at Elizabethton where he hit .353/.417/.431. He also had 17 doubles. I’ve heard Dozier plays great defense as well. He doesn’t have anyone blocking him in the next couple of levels, but he does now have two big names behind him on the depth chart in Jorge Polanco and Miguel Angel Sano. Dozier will have to impress big time if he wants to be the Twins starting shortstop over those two prospects. He does have the advantage of playing in college for four years so hopefully he won't be stuck in the lower levels of the minors for long.
