Chih-Hsien Chiang, rf Age: 23. Position: RF (70 G), LF (7 G). Born: Feb. 21, 1988 in Taitung City, Taiwan. Ht.: 6-2. Wt.: 170. Bats: L. Throws: R. Career Transactions: Signed as nondrafted free agent by Red Sox, Oct. 8, 2005. Club (League) Class AVG G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB OBP SLG Portland (EL) AA .340 88 321 68 109 37 4 18 76 25 61 6 .402 .648 When the season began, Chiang would have been a relatively insignificant complementary piece in any trade. A former infielder who signed with the Red Sox for $375,000 out of Taiwan in 2006, Chiang had shown little aptitude at the plate. But this year the Red Sox hooked Chiang up with a Chinese-speaking nutritionist, and that pairing enabled Chiang to get his diabetes under control. The results have been dramatic. After never slugging better than .459 in a full season—and even that comes with asterisk because it occurred at the launching pad of Lancaster—Chiang was leading the Eastern League in six categories at the time of his trade. Those EL-leading totals: .340 average, .648 slugging, 76 RBIs, 37 doubles, 59 extra-base hits and 68 runs. His exceptional raw power had never been transferred to game situations before, but this year Chiang has shown potential to be a slugging outfielder. He isn't much of a runner and he's average at best in the outfield, so his value is tied entirely to his bat. While Chiang is a 23-year-old repeating Double-A after repeating high Class A, his health and nutrition struggles provide a reasonable explanation for his previous struggles, making him a player worth taking a flier on. http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/majors/trade-central/2011/2612176.html -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.24.3.7
