http://myurl.com.tw/383q St. Louis Cardinals First-rounders: After Gordon Beckham and Justin Smoak, Brett Wallace (1, 13) is the best college hitter in the country. He is a great pure hitter who sprays balls to all fields and has great plate discipline. He finished his final season at Arizona State with big numbers: he hit .410/.526/.753 with 22 home runs. Although he’s a big guy, he’s surprisingly agile and has good enough hands to start his pro career at third base. Lance Lynn (1, 39) throws four decent pitches which could make him a No. 4 or No. 5 pitcher in a big league rotation. He has a low 90s fastball, a slider, a changeup and a curve. He has good command but gave up too many home runs (11 home runs in 89 2/3 innings). Late round gem: Chris Swauger (26, 785) has enjoyed an outstanding four-year career at The Citadel and is a senior sign for the Cards. He showed good defensive skills at first base as a freshman, but was moved to left-field in 2006. He hits no matter where he plays, however. In a tough pitchers’ park, Swauger hit .360/.485/.603 in 56 games in 2008. He led the Coastal Plains League in home runs in the summer of 2007 and smacked another 10 in 2008. He’s not particularly big (6-foot, 195 pounds), but he can really hit and should tear up minor league pitchers. Hometown heroes: Matt Frevert (28, 845), a pitcher from Missouri State, is the only Missouri amateur who the Cardinals selected. Tough sign: Mitch Harris (13, 395) is a steal in the thirteenth round on talent, but he pitches at the Naval Academy. Midshipmen are required to spend five years on active duty, but the Cardinals and Navy might reach an agreement to shorten the service time. Harris is the best prospect from a military academy in years. Top 100 talents: Wallace, Swauger, Blake Murphy (42, 1265), Aaron Luna (9, 275), Shane Peterson (2, 59) Summary/Grade: A. This Cardinals draft is rich in college talent. Wallace is a great value pick in the middle of the first round and St. Louis picked up sleepers in nearly every round of the draft. Swauger will fly through the low minor leagues and watch out for Blake Murphy. He’s a sound defensive catcher who has put up big offensive numbers at Western Carolina. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.114.207.110
