15. Deolis Guerra | Starter | DOB: 4/89 | Throws: Right | Trade: Mets YEAR LV G GS ERA IP H HR SO BB 2006 A- 17 17 2.20 81.2 59 3 64 37 2007 A+ 21 20 4.01 89.2 80 9 66 25 2008 A+ 26 25 5.47 130.0 138 12 71 71 Considered by many to be the highest-upside prospect in the four-player haul that the Twins received for Johan Santana last offseason, Deolis Guerra took a major step backward last year while repeating high Single-A. His strikeout rate declined 33 percent, his walk rate nearly doubled, and he induced 31 percent fewer ground balls while posting an ugly 5.47 ERA and uglier 71-to-71 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 130 innings. And he did all of that in an environment so pitcher-friendly that the league ERA was 3.81. 原先被認為是山大王交易中最值得期待的prospect 但去年在A+的成績實在退步太多太多了 SO率減低,BB率無敵高,滾地球也變少了這個聯盟甚至是有利於投手的 Guerra's hugely disappointing season can be traced directly to a big drop in velocity, as he spent most of the year in the mid-80s while the Twins tinkered with his mechanics. Between an awful performance and diminished stuff there's no way around the fact that Guerra's stock took a nose dive, but it's also important to remember that he played the entire season at 19 years old. Of the 100 guys in the Florida State League who logged at least 55 innings, Guerra and Rick Porcello were the only teenagers. 主要原因是球速掉了非常非常多,大部分時間只有mid-80s 即使調整過投球動作,仍舊無效經過了一個令人失望的球季,評價直直落是無可避免的但他只有19喔 (He still has time!!!) The average age of that 100-pitcher group was 23.85, which means that Guerra could spend another three seasons at high Single-A and still be young for the level. None of that will matter unless he gets the lost velocity back and starts living up to some of the hype, but if Guerra had come up through the Twins' system instead of beginning his career with the overly aggressive Mets he may have spent last season facing other teenagers at rookie-ball. His stock is way down, but don't count him out. 除非找回球速,不然只能一天一天看著年齡的優勢流失但提醒大家一點,如果Guerra在Twins而不是在Mets 他去年應該還待在新人聯盟所以即使他的評價不若以往,也先別那麼快就失望 14. David Bromberg | Starter | DOB: 9/87 | Throws: Right | Draft: 2005-32 YEAR LV G GS ERA IP H HR SO BB 2006 RK- 10 10 2.66 50.2 42 2 31 18 2007 RK 13 11 2.78 58.1 45 4 81 32 2008 A- 27 27 4.44 150.0 149 10 177 54 Selected out of a California high school in the 32nd round of the 2005 draft, David Bromberg signed a year later as a draft-and-follow pick and fared well in the rookie-level Gulf Coast League during his pro debut. He moved up to rookie-level Elizabethton in 2007 and took home Appalachian League pitcher of the year honors by going 9-0 with a 2.78 ERA while leading the league in strikeouts. Bromberg moved up to low Single-A last year for his full-season debut and continued to miss a ton of bats. Bromberg是2005年第32輪選進的高中球員在新人聯盟表現不錯去年上到low A也繼續維持 In fact, Bromberg led all of minor-league baseball with 177 strikeouts in 150 innings at Beloit and has now whiffed 289 batters in 259.1 career frames. Normally that many strikeouts leads to very few hits because there simply aren't a lot of balls put in play, but Bromberg allowed 149 hits in 150 innings for a .261 opponent's average. He also walked 54, plunked 19, and uncorked 16 wild pitches on the way to a 4.44 ERA that's downright bad in a pitcher-friendly league where the average mark was 3.68. 去年Bromberg丟出了全小聯盟最多的SO 但是ERA卻很難看主要是被打出太多安打,觸身,還有暴投 Of course, it makes sense that a 20-year-old in his first full pro season might struggle to command the type of raw stuff that can rack up 10.6 strikeouts per nine innings. There's plenty of time for Bromberg to harness his stuff and improve his control as he moves up the organizational ladder, but for now he's all strikeouts and upside. Moving up to Fort Myers this season will give the 6-foot-5 right-hander a chance to use his low-90s fastball and big-breaking curveball to lead a third straight league in strikeouts. 身為一個20歲年輕的投手,控球是常見的問題他有很多的時間去成長,去練控球,以把他不錯的潛力發揮到最大 13. Carlos Gutierrez | Reliever | DOB: 9/86 | Throws: Right | Draft: 2008-1 YEAR LV G GS ERA IP H HR SO BB 2008 A+ 16 0 2.10 25.2 23 0 19 7 After taking Aaron Hicks with their own first-round pick in June, the Twins used the Angels' first rounder that they received as compensation for Torii Hunter leaving as a free agent to select University of Miami closer Carlos Gutierrez. Much like Ben Revere the previous year, Gutierrez going 27th overall came as a surprise because most projections had him going several rounds later. Despite that he jumped all the way to high Single-A after signing and pitched well in 16 relief appearances. 去年雙城用第一輪補償選秀選了Gutierrez 他是U of Miami的終結者雖然他原本不被預期可以在這麼前面的順位被選中直升high A仍表現不錯 Originally a starter at Miami, Gutierrez moved to the bullpen after missing all of 2007 following Tommy John elbow surgery. He came back stronger than ever, posting a 3.02 ERA, 70-to-18 strikeout-to-walk ratio, and .199 opponent's batting average in 48 innings before struggling in the College World Series. Despite making his pro debut as a reliever after closing in college the Twins have indicated that they'll see if Gutierrez can stick as a starter before any full-time move to the bullpen. 他原本是個SP,動了TJ後以RP的角色重回球場但表現的卻比之前還好不過Twins仍希望他先回SP試試看 He relies heavily on a low-90s sinker, with Baseball America noting that his slider "lacks consistency" and his changeup "is in the rudimentary stages." Because of that Gutierrez would likely need quite a bit of time to work on his secondary pitches before potentially being ready for the majors as a starter, but he could be put on the fast track to Minnesota as a reliever. Gutierrez will go as far as his sinker takes him, and he induced 56 percent ground balls without allowing a homer in his 26-inning debut. 他最厲害的武器是low-90s的sinker,被打出去的56%是滾地球不過滑球跟變速球卻不太靈光他要成為SP,必須要再多練好一種變化球若只是要當個RP,絕對很快就可以升上去 12. Kevin Mulvey | Starter | DOB: 5/85 | Throws: Right | Trade: Mets YEAR LV G GS ERA IP H HR SO BB 2007 AA 26 26 3.32 151.2 145 4 110 43 2008 AAA 27 27 3.77 148.0 152 16 121 48 All three Mets pitching prospects who came to the Twins in the Santana trade took a step backward in 2008, but Kevin Mulvey's decline was at least fairly subtle. Selected in the second round of the 2006 draft after three years at Villanova University, Mulvey jumped right to Double-A and won the Mets' minor league pitcher of the year award. He spent last year at Triple-A following the trade and duplicated his Double-A numbers in most key categories, but saw one major change that dropped his stock. 山大王交易中的三個投手新秀在2008都退步了但Mulvey事實上變化有限他幾乎複製了2A所有的成績到3A He tossed 151.2 innings at Double-A and 148 innings at Triple-A, and his strikeouts (110, 121), walks (43, 48), and hits (145, 152) were nearly identical. However, within those similar totals he went from ground-ball pitcher to fly-ball pitcher while serving up four times as many homers. Two years ago he induced a grounder on 55 percent of his balls in play while allowing one homer per 174 batters. Last year he induced a grounder on 40 percent of his balls in play while allowing one homer per 40 batters. 他從一個滾地球投手變成了飛球投手即使三振,保送,被安打成績都維持但這一個改變,仍會使得他的評價會有些下降 Mulvey basically became a completely different pitcher last year, yet somehow did so while maintaining similar numbers. Unfortunately, going from 55 percent ground balls to 40 percent ground balls is very bad news for a guy who doesn't miss a ton of bats and Mulvey is never going to overpower anyone with his raw stuff. If he can get back to killing worms Mulvey has the potential to be a mid-rotation starter and should be ready for the majors this season. If not, he becomes a pretty marginal prospect. 對一個非強力三振型的投手來說被打出這麼多飛球是很不妙的如果他可以變回滾球投手,應該會是個中段輪值,而且距離major不遠但如果不能,前途則不太樂觀 11. Chris Parmelee | Right Field | DOB: 2/88 | Bats: Left | Draft: 2006-1 YEAR LV PA AVG OBP SLG HR XBH BB SO 2006 RK- 179 .279 .369 .532 8 19 23 47 2007 A- 501 .239 .313 .414 15 43 46 137 2008 A- 289 .239 .385 .496 14 27 52 83 Based solely on his .239 batting average you'd conclude that 2006 first-round pick Chris Parmelee had a horrible season, but that's far from the case. Parmelee hitting just .239 last season and .246 for his pro career certainly isn't a good thing and raises questions about his future, but focusing strictly on that overlooks elite power and patience. Angel Morales and Evan Bigley were the only Twins prospects to display more raw power than Parmelee last year and no one in the system had more plate discipline. Parmelee身為06年的第一輪選秀去年BA只有.239,你或許會覺得這真是糟透了但事實卻並不完全如此反而是他展現出了很好的power跟選球能力 To put Parmelee's power in perspective, consider that he played alongside Revere at low Single-A and had an identical slugging percentage despite a huge 140-point gap in the batting average. Unlike most position players in the Twins' system Parmelee has the secondary skills to make a big impact without a big average, but being a poor man's Adam Dunn at Single-A isn't the greatest sign for a prospect's long-term potential given that even Dunn batted .304 in the minors. 他展現出令人期待的長打能力,是Twins系統裡少見的數據看來像是小聯盟版的Adam Dunn 不過說實話,這麼低的BA依舊不是好事因為即使Dunn,他在minor時的BA仍有.304 Parmelee missed the entire second half of last year with a wrist injury that kept him from approaching 30 homers in a pitcher-friendly league where only three players went deep even 20 times, but even with the missed development time he's still just 21 years old. Wrist injuries can be tricky for a player who derives such a big chunk of his value from power, so 2009 will be crucial for Parmelee's outlook. He's a better prospect than most people think, but still needs to up his batting average to be special. Parmelee去年後半季手腕受了傷手腕受傷對一個以長打見長的球員來說,是一件很麻煩的事所以2009對Paemelee來說是很關鍵的一年他得證明自己能走出手傷的陰霾而且得在BA上多下點功夫 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.57.234
