A's KC Inf Ben Zobrist +2.xM <-> LHP Sean Manaea RHP Aaron Brooks Beane: "Manaea is considered the guy with the most upside, and probably the type of player we didn’t think we could get in this type of deal,” Beane said, referencing the fact that Zobrist will be a free agent after this season. “He’s a high-profile kid. A big kid, 6-5 … The strikeout percentage is abnormally high. One of the things we wanted to address was the lack of pitching depth in the organization, and we think we’ve helped.” BA http://www.baseballamerica.com/majors/trade-central-zobrist-gives-royals-options/ ATHLETICS ACQUIRE Sean Manaea, lhp Age: 23 Manaea was considered a potential top five pick in the 2013 draft coming off of an excellent summer in the Cape Cod League. But as a junior, he pitched through a hip labrum injury that eventually required surgery. That caused him to fall to the Royals’ supplemental first-round pick, although he did get first-round money. Manaea has had no further issues with the hip post-surgery, although he did miss time this year with groin and rib injuries. Since returning, he’s shaken off the rust to show similar stuff to what he had last year–a 90-95 mph fastball with downhill plane and some late life, a slider with above-average potential and a changeup that can be an average offering with some late fade. Manaea’s delivery is not particularly pretty–scouts who like him think it adds deception while others say it makes it hard for him to throw strikes consistently. Manaea’s control is currently below average (he’s walked 3.8 batters per nine innings through his career). He is a limited athlete who struggles to hold runners on and doesn’t field his position particularly well. Manaea is less polished than most top pitching prospects drafted out of college, but as a lefty with a chance to have three average or better offerings and a knack for missing bats (10.9 strikeouts per nine innings in his career) Manaea has the upside to be a solid No. 3 starter if it all clicks. Aaron Brooks, rhp Age: 25 Brooks has steadily risen up through the ranks of the Royals’ farm system as a durable righthander with solid but unspectacular stuff. At his best, he’s reminded scouts of now fellow Athletics’ pitcher A.J. Griffin with an average fastball and a power breaking ball. Brooks, 25, didn’t fare well in his first taste of the majors in 2014 as he was shelled in his lone spot start (he gave up seven runs while not making it out of the first inning). He’s spent most of this season in Triple-A with a brief jump to Kansas City to work out of the bullpen. Brooks did not rank among the Royals’ Top 30 prospects coming into the season and didn’t come close to cracking the Midseason Top 10. Most teams see Brooks as a useful fringe major leaguer who can jump up and down from Triple-A to fill in for spot starts, but the A’s clearly believe there is a little more than that in there. JS http://www.minorleagueball.com/2015/7/28/9060889/prospects-in-ben-zobrist-trade-reports-on-sean-manaea-aaron-brooks-royals-athletics Aaron Brooks, RHP: Aaron Brooks was drafted by the Royals in the ninth round in 2011 out of Cal State San Bernadino. He moved through the farm system on the basis of his strike-throwing skills, reaching Triple-A in 2014 (3.38 ERA for Omaha, 97/25 K/BB in 139 innings with 151 hits) and returning there in 2015 (3.71, 92/21 in 107 innings, 118 hits. He received brief cups-of-coffee in both '14 and '15, combining for a total of seven major league innings pitched, giving up a total of 18 hits and 16 runs for an unsightly 20.57 ERA. That's a tiny big league sample of course and Brooks' ability to pitch well in the difficult Pacific Coast League will get him a look with a new system. Brooks is listed at 6-4, 220, born April 27, 1990. As you would expect from his profile he is not a hard-thrower, topping out at 93 MPH and averaging around 91. He relies heavily on his change-up and will mix in some sliders. Control is his best attribute and he does a good job eating innings in Triple-A, though his margin for error is thin. He is generally seen as a Quadruple-A pitcher but under the right conditions he could be useful as a fifth starter or bullpen option. Sean Manaea, LHP: Manaea was drafted by Kansas City in the supplemental first round in 2013 from Indiana State University. He was viewed as perhaps the best pitcher available in the draft class until late worries about a torn hip labrum knocked back his draft stock. He was healthy in 2014 and generally pitched well, with a 3.11 ERA and a 146/54 K/BB in 122 innings for High-A Wilmington, allowing 102 hits. Manaea was slowed this spring by an abdominal injury but has held his own in 32 innings between rookie ball rehab, four starts in High-A and two in Double-A, posting a 3.69 ERA in 32 innings with a 39/11 K/BB and 33 hits allowed. Listed at 6-5, 234, Manaea was born February 1, 1992. His command is still inconsistent but there are few doubts about the stuff: his fastball can hit 95 and both his slider and change-up flash plus. He's overpowering at his best and if everything comes together he could be a number two starter. "Ifs" to resolve before that happens include developing more consistent command and proving that he can stay healthy under a full workload. The ceiling is quite high here but a few skeptics think he might wind up in relief like Drew Pomeranz. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 59.120.10.253 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Athletics/M.1438514365.A.004.html
