Scouting Report
- Huge 1B. Historically struggled with his defense, Brooks has improved in his time with the Sox. He's actually quite athletic for his large frame. Raw power potential, but has yet to demonstrate it. Decent batting eye. Played 3B in college, doesn't have enough range to stick at the hot corner. He can also play catcher in a pinch. ~ SoxProspects.com
