這篇文章來自Fangraph，有一整個系列，我有空就盡量翻。大家可以討論一下~ A Minor Review of ‘09: Kansas City Royals by Marc Hulet - November 2, 2009 - Share this Article Prospect ranking season is here. Top 10 lists will be arriving shortly and in preparation for that, we present an intro series looking at some of the players who deserve mentioning but probably will not be appearing on their teams’ Top 10 lists. The series is back for a second year. 又到了新秀排名的時間了。Top 10會在晚點出現，但是為了準備，我們將為大家介紹一些值得被注意，但是大概不會出現在Top 10的新秀們。 Kansas City Royals The Graduate: Mitch Maier, OF I’ve been a big fan of Maier since his college days, so I was happy to see him finally get an extended opportunity in KC in ‘09. The former college catcher had a modest rookie season with a line of .243/.333/.331. He struggles to hit consistently because he expands the strike zone too much, but he has value to the club because of his versatility, willingness to walk and speed. Maier’s best position is center field, although he can play all three. He’s also played infield positions in the minors and can serve as a third-string catcher. As much as it pains me to say it, Maier will need to show improvement if he hopes to stick around the Majors with KC, especially with the likes of Jordan Parraz and Tim Smith on the way. 我在Maier還在大學的時候就很喜歡他了，所以當他在今年的球季得到更多機會的時候，我相當高興。這位前大學捕手打出了一個普通的新秀球季：.243/ .333/ .331。因為他常常打好球帶之外的球，造成打擊率不振，但是因為他的功能性、願意被保送、和他的速度，他對 KC來說是有價值的。Maier最好的位置是CF，但是他也可以守RF、 LF。他也在小聯盟守過內野，還可以當back up捕手的back up。雖然這樣講令我很難過，但是Maier如果還想要在大聯盟打球的話，他必須表現出明顯的進步，尤其是當KC農場裡面還有Jordan Parraz和 Tim Smith這種新秀的時候。 The Riser: Jordan Parraz, OF The acquisitions of players like Parraz could very well help turn the organization around, more so than picking up the Mike Jacobs and Yuniesky Betancourts of the world. Grabbed from Houston prior to the ‘09 season, Parraz was a player with some intriguing abilities but things were just not clicking in the Astros system. The outfielder missed some time this past season due to injury, but he hit .358/.451/.553 in 226 double-A at-bats. He also earned a 13-game trial in triple-A. Parraz has the ability to hit a few homers and steal a few bases while getting on base at a respectable rate. Now 25, the Royals prospect has a shot at spending time in Kansas City in 2010, likely as a backup outfielder. 得到Parraz這種選手有時候可以將整個球隊逆轉過來，至少總比得到 Mike Jacobs或Yuniesky Betancourt好的多。在球季開始前從Houston 得到的球員，Parraz是個有天份，但是在Astro農場裡面沒有辦法表現的新秀。他這個球季因傷而沒有打滿整季，但是他在2A的226 AB裡面，打出了 .358/ .451/ .553的成績。他也得到了13場在3A的實驗比賽。Parraz有一些power，也有一些speed，而且也能夠把自己送上壘包。今年已經25歲的Parraz明年有機會上大聯盟打滾，當然backup的機會比較大。 The Tumbler: Johnny Giavotella, 2B Giavotella did not have a terrible season, but he failed to build on the success he had in his debut season in ‘08. The second baseman hit a modest .258/.351/.380 in 476 high-A at-bats… and he was victimized by a .281 BABIP. At 5′8” he won’t generate a ton of power, but he gets on base (12.2 BB%) and he doesn’t strike out much (1.22 BB/K). He needs to improve against right-handed pitchers after hitting just .243/.340/.344. Giavotella also has some speed with 26 steals in 35 attempts in ‘09. Defensively at second base, he made 21 errors and showed average range at best. Giavotella的球季並不差，但是他並沒有延續他在08年球季的出色表現。他在476個高A的AB中打出了普普的 .258/ .351/ .380，不過同時他的BABIP也只有.281。身高5呎8的他不會有什麼太令人驚艷的power，但是他很會上壘(12.2 BB%)，而且他也不太會被三振(1.22 BB/k)。他對右投只打出了 .243/ .340/ .344的成績，這樣是不行的。Giavotella 有一點速度，在35個try中成功了盜壘了26次。防守方面，他在二壘有21個失誤，而他的range撐死了也就是一個平均水準。 The ‘10 Sleeper: Tim Smith, OF Smith was obtained late in the ‘09 season from Texas, along with Manny Pina, in exchange for disgruntled pitcher Danny Gutierrez. The Canadian outfielder swings a good stick, with a career batting average above .300. Despite battling injuries in ‘09, Smith hit .333/.413/.475 in 120 high-A at-bats, and .309/.380/.439 in 139 double-A at-bats. The left-handed hitter batted .279/.346/.397 against southpaws and .337/.409/.490 versus right-handers. He’s not a speed-burner but he’s good on the bases, having stolen 21 in ‘08 and 15 (in 17 attempts) in ‘09. Smith, 23, does not project to be a star, but he could be a modest everyday player, or a solid fourth outfielder. Smith是在09年球季尾端用Danny Gutierrez換來的，一起過來的還有Manny Pina。Smith是個有棒子的外野手，生涯打擊率超過.300 雖然09年因傷所擾，但是仍然在high-A的120個AB中打出了 .333/ .413/ .475、2A的139個AB中打出了 .309/ .380/ .439的成績。對左投的split是.279/.346/.397，對右投則是.337/.409/.490。他並不是非常快的跑者，但是他的跑壘技術不錯，08年有21個SB，09 年則在17個try中成功15次。今年二十三歲的Smith的projection 並不是明星級的，但是他可能會是平均的普通球員，或是一個很不錯的四號外野手。 Bonus: Jose Bonilla, C Bonilla was highlighted in the ‘08 series as the Royals’ sleeper prospect for 2009. However, things did not go as hoped for the catcher in ‘09 as he struggled with the bat in his first taste of full-season ball. Bonilla’s averaged dropped from .357 in rookie ball to .217 in low-A ball, in part because his BABIP went from .412 to .280. The prospect has modest power (.094 ISO), but he struck out at a disappointing rate: 26.2 K%. On the plus side, Bonilla’s walk rate rose from 4.3 to 7.6 BB%. A right-handed hitter, he batted just .178/.219/.256 against southpaws. Defensively, he still allows too many passed balls and his success rate at throwing out runners dropped from 43% in ‘08 to 34% in ‘09. Bonilla在08年就已經被視為潛力股，但是事情並沒有往好的方向發展。這位捕手在第一次的完整球季中的打擊出了些問題。他的打擊率從rookie ball的 .357掉到low-A的 .217，當然，他低迷的BABIP也是原因之一。(.412 跌到 .280) 他有普通的power(.094 ISO)，但是他被三振太多次了：26.2k%。好的方面來講，他的BB%從4.3提升到了7.6%，身為一個右打者，他對左打的成績只有 .178/ .219/ .256。守備方面依舊常常出現補逸，而且他的阻殺率也從08年的43%跌到今年的34%。 ============================== 照例，有翻譯錯誤還請不吝指教。之後的球隊會慢慢翻譯吧，反正我有整個off season。xD -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 74.64.7.116
