Re: [News] Blue Jays flying under the radart
MLB.com's Postseason Selections
J.P. Arencibia, C: One of seven players taken by the Jays in the first 88 picks
of 2007, the first-rounder from Tennessee dominated at the plate in his first
full season, hitting .298 with 27 homers and 105 RBIs between Class A Advanced
Dunedin and Double-A New Hampshire. He finished tied for 10th in the Minors in
RBIs and showed pure power to all fields. Though he has the reputation for being
an "offensive catcher," he is working hard on his defense and should be more
than adequate behind the plate when he is called to the bigs. And that may not
be far off. Right now, with veteran Rod Barajas and Jays prospect Curtis Thigpen
ahead of him, he could be in the bigs by 2009.
J.P. Arencibia 是藍鳥在 2007 年選秀前 88 順位挑中的七位選手之一。這位來自田納西
州的球員在第一個職業球季打擊表現相當亮眼,在高階 A 和 AA繳出 .298 打擊率,27 支
全壘打,105 分打點。他是小聯盟打點第十傑,有把球尻向場內任何位置的炮瓦。儘管他被
認為是攻擊型捕手,但他在防守上下了很大的功夫,等到他有機會上大聯盟時,他應該是個
有平均以上防守能力的捕手,而這時間點其實不遠了。現在有 Barajas 和 Thigpen 擋在他
前面,他有機會在明年升到大聯盟。
Brad Mills, LHP: The Jays had had their eye on the Arizona southpaw for awhile,
drafting him in the 22nd round of 2006, though he chose not to sign so he could
continue his degree in civil engineering. They took him with their fourth-round
pick in 2007 and he posted a 2.00 ERA in 18 innings that summer at Auburn, but
missed time with arm soreness and an irregular heartbeat. Jays player
development director Dick Scott said prior to the 2008 season that he expected
Mills to have a successful first full season in his comeback, but who knows if
he could have expected such a year? Mills' 1.95 ERA between Class A Lansing
(2.55), Dunedin (1.35) and New Hampshire (1.10) ranked fourth among all Minor
League starters, while his 159 strikeouts in 147 1/3 innings were eighth in the
Minors. He won the Toronto Triple Crown for wins (13), ERA and strikeouts and
could factor into the big-league mix come April.
藍鳥在選 Brad Mills 之前就已經注意他很久了。他是 2006 年的選秀中第 22 輪被選進來
的左投手。那年他選擇不簽約以完成土木系的學業。隔年藍鳥在第四輪再選他一次,之後他
在短期 A 投了 18 局,2.00 ERA,後來因為手臂痠和心律不整而沒有再上場。藍鳥的球員
發展部部長 Dick Scott 說他預期在 2008 年球季 Mills 將有個成功的完整球季。不知道
Mills '08 的成績有沒有超過他的預期:在 A 繳出 2.55 ERA,在高階 A 繳出 1.35 ERA,
在 AA 繳出 1.10 ERA!整年 1.95 ERA 在小聯盟所有投手中排名第四,147.1 局中投出
159 次三振,排名第八。他是藍鳥農場 '08 的投手三冠王,可能在明年會有機會被叫上大
聯盟。

我來唸歌 請您仔細聽,那個永公街上 說有一個奇怪的人。他每天行來行去 面黑黑又打赤
腳,不過他都行去滿滿的垃圾桶,找垃圾桶裡面別人拋棄的東西
他只在附近遊蕩,全村的人都知道他,我喜歡這樣稱呼他,說他是永公街的街長
他不癡 也不是傻瓜,他不狂 也不常說話,他的世界裡用著弔詭文法,他是永公街的街長
