這是現在到處傳的那篇ESPN top 100 prospects 其實我蠻度爛這個作者的因為太空人好像欠他錢一樣從沒聽過好話我印象中他寫國聯中區每年都把太空人寫成墊底競爭者甚至05年他也沒說過好話 XD 61 T.R. Towles c Towles has had little trouble hitting for average throughout his pro career, but it will be interesting to see what he does when consistently facing big league pitching. Towles sets up with a big, deep load and almost locks his lead elbow; as a result, his plate coverage isn't great and he struggles to reach the ball down, getting very long with an exaggerated finish just to reach balls in the lower third of the zone. He's a dead-pull hitter, which is a good thing for a right-handed bat in Houston's ballpark, but he'll have to show he can adjust to the ball away as well as down. His arm is fringe-average and he's an adequate plate blocker, but isn't plus in any aspect of his defense. Given his performance history, he should be at least an everyday catcher in the majors, but he's not a star and may settle in as a barely average regular. Towles在他的職業生涯對於維持打擊率並沒有太大的問題，不過他是否能在面隊大聯盟等級的投手時維持這樣的表現是值得觀察的．　他的打擊姿勢重心擺的很後面，他的左肘幾乎是鎖死的；因此他沒辦法涵蓋所有的好球帶，對於低球揮擊有困難，他必須用很大的揮擊軌跡去打好球帶下緣的低球．　他是個強拉型的打者，這在右打優勢的太空人球場相當好，但是他必須證明他能調整自己不論是在主場或客場．他的臂力在平均邊緣，擋球也擋的不錯，不過在防守各方面他並不突出．　綜觀他之前的表現，他至少是一個合格的先發捕手，但是他不會是明星可能只是個差不多平均的捕手．　(作者對他的打擊姿勢批評是值得觀察的點，可能是他會被攻擊的打擊死角．　不過不　知道他的球探報告是哪時候的，Towles不是強拉型打者，他推打有一定的水準，他上大聯盟後確實是拉很大，可能是狀況好加上球場因素讓他狂拉，他是contact hitter 類型的球員．　至於他守備的評價比起其他球探報告，Keith Law給他的評價似乎不　是很高) 65 Flipe Paulino rhp A converted infielder, Paulino has reportedly hit triple digits in the past, and he'd probably do so again as a reliever, which is his ultimate role. Working as a starter, Paulino has a 93-94 mph four-seamer that's true but has some late life, allowing him to miss some bats in the upper half of the zone. His potential out pitch is a hard 12-to-6 curve from 76 to 81 mph, with a sharp, late, downward break. It's not a consistent pitch for him, and when he relies on his four-seamer too heavily, hitters can sit on it, making him homer-prone. In relief, however, Paulino should see a tick up in velocity and be able to work more effectively without a third pitch. 由內野手轉職的投手，他過去有三位數球速的紀錄，當他擔任後援投手時應該可以重現這個數字，後援也可能是他最後的腳色定位．　擔任先發時他有93-94 mph的四縫，不過卻不太會跑，讓他的偏高球常被攻擊．　他有潛力的變化球是12-to-6的曲球-76-81 mph 再最後一刻產生變化非常的犀利，不過卻不是相當穩定，而當他過度依賴他的四縫時，打者很容易去鎖定等球，造成他有全壘打製造機的傾向．　不過當他擔任後援投手時，他可以飆出球速，即使沒有第三球路也可以有效壓制． (確實Paulino還是當RP的料，因為他的第二變化球一直養不太出來，但是現階段的　　太空人真的是SP貧乏到一個地步，只好把希望拋到他身上，希望不要因此毀了他) -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 72.227.16.62
