35. Bobby Lanigan | Starter | DOB: 5/87 | Throws: Right | Draft: 2008-3 YEAR LV G GS ERA IP H HR SO BB 2008 RK 13 13 2.78 74.1 74 5 65 9 As a Division II program Adelphi University isn't exactly a baseball hotbed, but the school that produced Gary Dell'Abate and Public Enemy also provided the Twins with their 2008 third-round pick. A big righty who ranks as the school's all-time leader in strikeouts, Bobby Lanigan had a 1.94 ERA as a junior and then signed very quickly for $417,000, debuting at rookie-level Elizabethton with a 2.78 ERA and 65-to-9 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 13 starts. Lanigan是他那所學校的all-time leader in strikeouts 成為雙城2008年第三輪選中的球員,簽約金417K Lanigan wasn't dominant at Elizabethton, totaling more hits allowed (74) than strikeouts (65) over 74.1 innings, but he ranked fourth among Appalachian League pitchers in strikeout-to-walk ratio. He fits the Twins' mold as a strike-throwing machine, but is hardly a soft-tosser with a low-90s fastball and sharp slider. For now Lanigan looks like a future fourth or fifth starter, but snatching him up in the third round signals that the Twins may think his 6-foot-5 frame can eventually support more velocity. 他並沒有dominate新人聯盟,被擊出的安打比三振多,但保送很少又是一名Twins' mold的投手 (唉 Twins' mold...) 頂多是後段輪值不過身材條件還不錯,還是有機會向上發展 Lanigan will make his full-season debut this year and won't be on the same type of fast track as fellow 2008 draftees Carlos Gutierrez and Shooter Hunt, but is polished enough to possibly climb two rungs on the organizational ladder if things go well. If not, Lanigan needs only to hang a big clock around his neck or mispronounce the name of his favorite cartoon character to follow the career-making footsteps of Adelphi's most successful alumni. 雖然無法像Gutierrez跟Hunt一樣,但仍有機會看到他連升兩級最後一句看不懂他的梗 34. Oswaldo Sosa | Starter | DOB: 9/85 | Throws: Right | Sign: Venezuela YEAR LV G GS ERA IP H HR SO BB 2006 A- 20 20 2.75 117.2 102 1 95 36 A+ 6 6 2.08 34.2 23 1 27 18 2007 A+ 19 19 2.23 105.0 94 2 82 36 AA 9 9 4.50 48.0 45 4 35 22 2008 A+ 17 6 5.44 43.0 46 0 33 32 AA 13 13 5.81 62.0 70 4 47 43 Oswaldo Sosa was fantastic in the low minors, posting a 2.95 ERA while allowing just four homers in 301 innings at Single-A, but stumbled when he moved up to Double-A for the first time in mid-2007 and completely fell apart last year. Sosa began last season at New Britain, but was demoted back to Fort Myers after making 13 starts with a 5.81 ERA. He split time between the bullpen and rotation following the demotion, but couldn't get on track and finished 2008 with an ugly 80-to-75 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Sosa在低階農場的時候看起來棒極了,single A整體的ERA為2.95,只被打4支HR 但2007年中升上2A之後,就完全走樣了事情一發不可收拾,甚至在2008年中被降級回A+ 但似乎仍然無濟於事 Sosa has never missed a ton of bats, so 80 strikeouts in 105 innings is nothing out of the ordinary, but the deterioration of control is concerning. His walk rate was just nine percent from 2004-2007, but that number jumped to 15 percent last season and came along with a .289 opponent's batting average. He continued to induce a high percentage of ground balls and served up just four long balls to 492 batters, so at least the basics of Sosa's success remained intact while his control faltered. 最大的問題就是控球突然變的一蹋糊塗不過其中也有聊以自慰的地方,他製造滾地球與很少被長打的能力仍在 (控球不見不會是受傷了吧?) It's also worth noting that Sosa played the entire season at the age of 22, so it's not surprising that he had trouble versus Double-A hitters. In fact, Sosa and Anthony Swarzak were six months younger than anyone else on New Britain's staff and most of the pitchers were 24 or 25. That doesn't explain Sosa's continued struggles after being moved down to Fort Myers, but it does provide enough reason to show some patience in the hopes that he can get back to throwing his heavy fastball over the plate. 他才23歲,潛力依然十足令人擔憂的是,去年被降級後,狀況未見改善不過他仍值得我們拭目以待 33. Steve Singleton | Second Base | DOB: 9/85 | Bats: Switch | Draft: 2006-11 YEAR LV PA AVG OBP SLG HR XBH BB SO 2006 RK 156 .340 .368 .556 4 18 5 19 2007 A- 391 .271 .294 .346 2 22 8 47 2008 A- 259 .302 .348 .421 6 14 13 29 A+ 277 .295 .371 .452 5 26 26 24 Steve Singleton has had an up-and-down pro career since the Twins selected him out of the University of San Diego in the 11th round of the 2006 draft. He signed quickly and debuted by hitting .340 in 41 games at rookie-ball, but then moved up to low Single-A in 2007 and batted just .271/.294/.346 in 102 games while battling through shoulder problems. Not only did Singleton struggle offensively, his lack of arm strength led to 10 errors in 22 games at shortstop before a move to second base. 新人聯盟時很猛但升上A-之後卻面臨瓶頸,可能跟肩膀的傷有關不但打擊很慘,連SS的守備也大有問題 (22場有10個失誤) Back at Beloit to begin last season, Singleton stayed at second base defensively and bounced back in a big way at the plate, hitting .302/.348/.421 in 65 games to earn a midseason promotion to Fort Myers. Singleton then batted .295/.371/.452 in 62 games at high Single-A, finishing the year at .298/.360/.437 in 536 plate appearances overall. Within his 157-point jump in OPS compared to 2007 was significant improvement in both plate discipline and strike-zone control. 不過從他被移往2B之後,狀況似乎改善了季中被升上A+後,更像是打通了任督二脈般連選球能力都變強了 2008年,他著實非常搶眼 Singleton walked 39 times compared to just 53 strikeouts after coming into the season with an ugly 66-to-13 strikeout-to-walk ratio for his career. With just 17 homers in nearly 1,000 at-bats Singleton will have to get on base at a good clip to be valuable, so tripling his walk rate while cutting strikeouts by 20 percent is an excellent sign. Maintaining those improvements and adding a little more pop would give him a chance to be a starting-caliber second baseman, but for now he looks like a nice utility man. 今年他必須證明去年的表現不是曇花一現如果他能維持甚至持續進步,相信很有可能成為球隊的先發二壘手不過現在看來,充其量只是個工具人 32. Tyler Ladendorf | Shortstop | DOB: 3/88 | Bats: Right | Draft: 2008-2 YEAR LV PA AVG OBP SLG HR XBH BB SO 2008 RK- 175 .204 .308 .293 1 10 17 29 Drafted by the Yankees in 2006 and the Giants in 2007, Tyler Ladendorf put off his pro career to spend two years at a junior college in Texas. During that time he emerged as the country's top junior-college hitter and then went to the Twins in the second round of June's draft. This time Ladendorf signed for a $700,000 bonus and reported to the rookie-level Gulf Coast League, where he struggled mightily while hitting just .204 with little power and a strikeout in 17 percent of his plate appearances. 2006被北佬選中,2007年被老人選中,他還是跑去念大學終於在2008被雙城在第二輪選中,並獲得700k的簽約金不過2008的表現實在慘不忍睹 Ladendorf's pro debut wasn't pretty and casts some further doubt on his ability to thrive against tougher competition, but his junior-college numbers were so insanely spectacular that they can't be ignored. As a freshman Ladendorf batted .425 while stealing 65 bases without being caught a single time and as a sophomore he went 31-for-32 swiping bases while hitting .542 with 49 extra-base hits, 47 walks, and a ridiculous 1.060 slugging percentage in 53 games. Slugging percentage, not OPS. 雖然他慘澹的表現使得質疑聲紛至沓來但他在大學時那種"神級"的表現實在很難讓人忘記一年級時,BA .425,65次盜壘沒有失敗二年級時,BA .542,49支長打,47次保送重點是SLG為"1.060" 看清楚,是SLG 1.060,不是OPS喔 He turns 21 years old in March and is already big for a shortstop, so Ladendorf seems unlikely to stay at the position long term. That makes his offensive development crucial, so even if it was only 175 plate appearances at rookie-ball his poor pro debut was concerning. Still, Ladendorf's junior-college exploits suggest that he'll hit for strong batting averages soon enough, he displayed solid plate discipline amid the overall GCL struggles, and the Twins are clearly believers after taking him 60th overall. 雖然在RK表現的很糟糕,但他即將滿21歲,且打過大學比賽展現出的選球能力也還可以 Twins仍然對他充滿希望 31. Jonathan Waltenbury | First Base | DOB: 4/88 | Bats: Left | Draft: 2006-7 YEAR LV PA AVG OBP SLG HR XBH BB SO 2007 RK- 144 .244 .347 .366 3 9 18 31 2008 RK 293 .319 .382 .540 10 35 27 46 Taken out of a Canadian high school in the seventh round of the 2006 draft, Jonathan Waltenbury had a modest debut in the rookie-level Gulf Coast League before breaking out at Elizabethton last year. As a Canadian first baseman with a left-handed stroke and 6-foot-4 frame Waltenbury has naturally drawn comparisons to Justin Morneau and he showed that type of power potential by totaling 35 extra-base hits in 263 at-bats for an Isolated Power that was 77 percent above the Appalachian League average. Waltenbury來自加拿大,左手一壘手,使得你自然地就會拿他跟Morneau相比 2007的表現只能說普普,甚至不及格不過2008就完全不同了 Among all the hitters in the Twins' minor-league system last year only Angel Morales, Evan Bigley, and Chris Parmelee flashed more raw power than Waltenbury. Better yet, that impressive pop also came with a reasonable strikeout rate of 16 percent and he's displayed nice patience for someone so young, drawing 45 walks in 437 trips to the plate. Bigley was his Elizabethton teammate and hit .300/.360/.587 for similar raw stats, but is a year older, struck out 15 percent more, and walked 40 percent less. power很好,去年IsoP在整個Twins系統排名第四可喜的是選球的耐心不錯 (在我們農場裡真難得啊) Not only did Waltenbury tear up the Appalachian League, he did so at a young age and showed some important secondary skills within that performance, which are very important distinctions to make when examining eye-popping numbers in the low minors. He's a long way from being compared to Morneau in a meaningful way despite wearing the same No. 33 to honor his fellow Canuck, but Waltenbury has gotten off to a great start and oozes offensive potential. 雖然真正要拿他跟Morneau比還早了點但他的確顯露出不錯的潛力,也打出不錯的數據 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.57.234
