    He may have to take a back seat to Weeks in Louisiana, but Aubrey is a better pure hitter than any other college player in the nation. He projects as a .300-plus hitter with lots of doubles and 15-20 homers in the majors. He has a great approach at the plate and rarely gets fooled. He also has solid average speed and tremendous baseball instincts. He projects as a possible Gold Glove first baseman, though he also played the outfield and threw 90-92 off the mound when he was Baseball America's 2001 Freshman of the Year. Some teams will try to move him to a corner outfield spot, but he doesn't show the arm strength he once did. The Conference-USA player of the year, Aubrey will go in the upper half of the first round, probably between No. 6 (Cubs) and No. 13 (Blue Jays).
