最近實在是被工作壓力壓垮喏都沒時間看國外文章了這篇我也還沒看先貼上來吧 1. Kris Bryant For the second straight year, a Cubs prospect who spent half the season at Tennessee led the minors in extra-base hits. Bryant collected 78 in all, surpassing by three Javier Baez’s total from 2013, while also leading the minors in home runs (43), slugging (.661) and OPS (1.098). He earned a second-half promotion to Triple-A Iowa and won the BA Minor League Player of the Year award. In the tradition of hard-hitting college third basemen such as Alex Gordon or Mark Teixeira, Bryant won’t require much minor league time. While the hot corner might not be Bryant’s ultimate position, SL evaluators favorably reviewed his double-plus arm and defensive agility. Bryant’s big righthanded bat will play no matter where he settles on the diamond. His leveraged, upper-cut swing is designed: to launch the ball in the air with plus power to all fields, and half of his 22 homers in the SL went out either to center or right field. One scout said Bryant had the fastest bat in the league, which will enable him to hit for average even though he projects to strike out as much as a quarter of the time. “We wanted to pitch him away (to try to neutralize his power), but he hit the ball so hard the other way that we decided to go back inside,” Chattanooga manager Razor Shines said. “That was a mistake, too. He’s going to swing and miss, but if the pitcher doesn’t hit his spots, then he’s going to pay the price.” 2. Addison Russell The Athletics drafted Russell 11th overall out of high school in 2012 and fast-tracked him to high Class A the following year, then to Double-A in 2014. He finished the season as a member of the Cubs organization after Oakland used him as lure to acquire Jeff Samardzija in a July 4 trade. Scouts regard Russell as a safe bet to stick at shortstop despite just average speed because he’s agile, sure-handed and owns an accurate, solid-average arm most notable for its quick release. Russell hit for more power than ever after joining Tennessee in July, punishing inside fastballs for power and sitting on breaking balls away and driving them to right field with a short, compact stroke. He makes steady contact and will hit for average in the majors, though it’s his plus power and solid glove at shortstop that will make him a star. 5. CJ Edwards One year before the Cubs leveraged Jeff Samardzija in a July trade to acquire shortstop prospect Addison Russell from the Athletics, they used Matt Garza to pry Edwards away from the Rangers at the 2013 deadline. Both prospects suited up for Tennessee in the second half of 2014, though not before Edwards missed all of May, June and July after coming down with a shoulder strain. Tall and lean, Edwards has plus life and so much cutting action on a low-90s fastball—he tops out near 95 mph—that batters simply can’t square him up. SL opponents hit just .180 against him, and he has allowed just two home runs in 50 career appearances. One scout said that Edwards threw the best curveball in the SL, and it’s a plus pitch when he stays on top of the ball. Edwards continues to improve the quality and arm speed on his mid-80s changeup, and the primary long-term concerns for the gangly, long-limbed righthander will stamina, health and coordination of delivery. No one doubts his stuff will play at the top of a rotation. 18. Albert Almora Almora joined fellow precocious 2012 high school draftees Addison Russell and Corey Seager in the SL at the end of July. While he did the least to stand out in the context of the league, batting .234 with two homers and no steals in 36 games at Tennessee, Almora’s skills always have been subtle. If Almora reaches his ceiling, he’ll be a high-average, top-of-the-order hitter and a Gold Glove-caliber defender in center field. He receives unanimously positive reviews for his plus range and fielding ability even though he rates as no better than solid-average as a runner. As such, stolen bases won’t be a big part of his game. Almora got beat with good fastballs in the SL, according to one scout, and he struggled with timing issues relating to his big leg kick at various points all season, even in the first half at high Class A Daytona. While he walks only once every two weeks on average, Almora does a good job spraying the ball around and projects as an above-average hitter for some scouts. For others, his bat fits best as an extra outfielder. -- やっ..........！！！！！！止めろペイモンこの野郎～～～～～～っ地獄でいきなり聖書なんえ読み上げやがってえ~~~~~~~~~っ！！殺すえおっ！！ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 59.115.133.138 ※ 文章網址: http://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Cubs/M.1413285393.A.303.html ※ 編輯: Zamned (59.115.133.138), 10/14/2014 19:17:09
