The Rockies had hoped to sign Lincoln immediately, but a lengthy negotiation turned him into a draft-and-follow and he didn't make his pro debut until 1999. A member of a Florida state championship team at Sarasota High, he's expected to make the conversion from shortstop to third baseman this spring after leading the organization with 39 errors in 2000. He definitely has the arm strength to play on the hot corner, and he has shown glimpses of the power he'll need to stick there. Lincoln will have to develop better plate discipline and make more contact to become a true threat, however. He'll probably move up to Salem in 2001.
