PHOENIX -- The D-backs will get an up-close look at prep shortstop Francisco Lindor during a private workout Thursday at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick.

The D-backs own the third and seventh overall picks in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft, which starts Monday, and Lindor could be someone the D-backs are looking at with pick No. 7.

Lindor hit .528 with six homers this year for Montverde Academy in Florida and is regarded as a plus defender with outstanding range and a good arm.

He is being compared to Soriano.
