Blair has hit for surprising power for a small guy. He also reverses a trend of the
Pirates taking college hitters with poor plate discipline. In 2004, he was the MVP
of the wood bat Alaska League, which is the second toughest of the summer leagues.
The Cardinals drafted him in the 18th round in 2004, but he was one of the few picks
they didn't sign. He played SS in college but the Pirates announced him as a 2B,
which isn't surprising given his very high error totals in college. According to
at least one source, Blair has had serious attitude problems. He's a senior and
signed shortly after the draft. Either he or Lillibridge could conceivably move to
Hickory early on, given the Crawdads' lack of position prospects, but he'll no doubt
start at Williamsport.
