這個Nick Swisher交易案來的配菜, 看看一些他的相關評論吧 1. mlb.com: by Jonathan Mayo Kanekoa Texeira, RHP It doesn't happen very often, but sometimes hidden gems can be found in a Draft. Texeira might be one of them. The native Hawaiian was at Saddleback Junior College in California, but he wasn't pitching much. But then-White Sox scout Danny Ontiveros saw something in him and invited him to a workout at Santa Ana College. He opened up many eyes then, throwing 88-92 mph with some serious life. The White Sox took him the 22nd round, and he's been moving up the ranks since. Using a three-quarter delivery, Texeira uses a fastball that explodes at the plate. Add that to a nasty slider, and it's clear to see why he's saved 37 games over his two full seasons of pro ball and has struck out more than a batter per inning in his career to go along with a 2.25 ERA. He's allowed just 118 hits in 144 1/3 career innings, holding hitters to a .205 batting average combined in 2008, to go along with a 1.33 ERA. He had a 0.93 ERA in 36 outings with Winston-Salem in the Class A Advanced Carolina League before moving up to Double-A Birmingham and posting a 2.01 ERA in 15 games there. 2. Espn.com: by Keith Law The throw-in coming to the Yanks, Kanekoa Texeira, is a classic sinker/slider reliever, with his slider being a potential out pitch, but with below-average command. Even if the command doesn't improve, he'll pitch in the big leagues, and has a chance to be a late-innings guy if it does improve because he already misses bats and keeps the ball in the park. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.132.198.21
