A season ago, the Milwaukee Brewers selected slugging first baseman Blake Burke out of the University of Tennessee with the 34th overall pick. This year, they selected slugging first base prospect Andrew Fischer out of the University of Tennessee with the 20th overall pick. However, despite the redundancy, which doesn't stop with Burke, but rather extends to the rest of the Brewers' farm system that is chock-full with corner infield talent, Fischer is an exciting player and one who can flat-out hit.
Though technically drafted as a first and third baseman, Fischer played just five games at third base a season ago and profiles more as a first baseman, especially as he progresses through the upper levels of the minor leagues.
