Brett Lawrie was his sister Danielle's favorite Canadian Olympian:

My brother [Brett Lawrie, baseball player] definitely. We got to see each other a lot. They got to come to a lot of our games. We didn't get a great chance to see them, but we would eat together -- not all the time, but enough that it...

Lawrie went 0-2 with sac fly in Canada's 4-0 win over the Netherlands. Nice shot of him catching a fly ball:

That article may be a little misleading. He has been playing baseball all his life, but he...

Am I missing something here? How Lawrie sign with the Brewers after Aug 15th? Is there some extension granted to players who participate in the Olympics? The earliest any team will be done playing is Aug 20th, which is well past the signing deadline. If there's not an extension then every story including a blurb about Lawrie signing after the Olympics is shoddy journalism.

I searched around on the web and came up empty trying to find any exceptions to the Aug 15th deadline.

All the Canadians the Brewers have and they couldn't draft Mike Monster the Canadian Junior closer. He would immediatly become my favorite prospect.

He runs very well for a C if that's where he sticks, his 60 time was 6.75. Cutter Dykstra was one of the quickest players at his SPARQ testing and had the highest overall score with Lawrie coming second. For those interested, Dykstra's 60 time was 6.58, so while Lawrie...

how fast would you say lawrie is? i'm just curious considering he had three triples in one game and an inside the park homerun in another it sounds like he has speed to match his bat power

I would imagine somewhat lower. The players are all 18 or under, so I'd think it would be maybe a notch or two below the AZL, which has a lot of young international signees, but also some older college guys. Maybe something like the DSL/VSL.

Also, Canada's game yesterday against the Czech Republic was postoned. They're playing sometime today.
