http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/washington-nationals-top-10-prospects/ Coming off a 2014 season that saw the Nationals win a National League-best 96 games and an offseason that added another ace to their rotation, expectations in Washington were high entering the 2015 season. The Nationals were World Series favorites thanks to a loaded rotation fronted by Max Scherzer and a powerful lineup led by Bryce Harper. 2014年國民贏得國聯最佳96勝，季後又追加一張ACE ；以Scherzer掛頭牌的輪值加上 Harper帶領的強力打線，國民曾是最被看好能夠進軍WS的球隊。 They started the season slowly and found themselves in fourth place in the NL East, five games behind the Mets, at the end of April. They eventually hit their stride and were in first place going into August, but they slid down the stretch. Washington went 29-32 over the final two months of the season, finished with just 83 wins and missed the playoffs by seven games. 球隊開季起步緩慢而且落居分區第四，四月底時甚至落後龍頭梅子五場。不過還是能大幅加速，進入八月時名列分區第一。接著一路滑到季末，最後兩個月僅打出 29-32 ，只拿到83勝而且以七場勝差被踢出季後賽名單之外。 Several key Nationals spent significant parts of the season on the disabled list. Third baseman Anthony Rendon, center fielder Denard Span, left fielder Jayson Werth and first baseman Ryan Zimmerman all played fewer than 100 games. Righthanders Doug Fister, Drew Storen and Stephen Strasburg all spent time on the DL, too. 好幾個陣中重要成員都耗費許多時間去躺傷兵名單。三壘手Rendon、中外野Span、左外野Werth 與一壘手Zimmerman這幾個人的出賽都少於100場；右投Fister、Storen與 Strasburg也都進過傷兵名單。 Matt Williams, the NL manager of the year in 2014, was criticized for many of the team’s failings throughout the year. He was fired following the completion of the season. 去年國聯最佳總教練Matt Williams 因為球隊的各種不振飽受批評，正規球季結束後即遭開除。 Despite the disappointing results, it wasn’t all doom and gloom for the Nationals. Harper earned the BA Major League Player of the Year Award after hitting .330/.460/.649 with a league-leading 42 home runs and 118 runs. He compiled 9.9 wins above replacement, which was highest the highest total in the NL since Barry Bonds in 2004. Scherzer, for his part, lived up to his seven- year, $210 million deal. He became the sixth pitcher in history to throw two no -hitters in the same year. 即便戰績令人失望也並非所有人都一無是處。Harper贏得BA年度最佳球員，他打出三圍.330/.460./649，42轟及跑回118分都是國聯最多。最終繳出9.9 WAR，是2004年的 Barry Bonds 以來國聯最佳。至於簽下七年210M的Scherzer則成為史上第六個單季投出兩場無安打比賽的投手。 Harper and Scherzer should remain the Nationals’ cornerstones for the foreseeable future, and all the injuries created opportunities for young players. Center fielder Michael Taylor graduated to the major leagues. Righthander Joe Ross and shortstop Trea Turner, who came from the Padres in a three-team offseason deal, made their big league debuts in 2015 and will figure prominently into future plans. 在可預見的將來Harper與Scherzer仍將是球隊基石，老將們的傷病也會為年輕球員帶來機會。Michael Taylor已經卡進中外野，季前經三方交易自教士轉隊的右投Joe Ross 與游擊Trea Turner都已於今年初次亮相，也會是未來計畫中的重要成員。 Further down in the system, righthander Lucas Giolito, the team’s top pick in the 2012 draft, has developed into one of the top pitching prospects in the game as he continues to get further removed from Tommy John surgery. Righthander Erick Fedde, the team’s first-rounder in 2014, pitched well in his pro debut, as he too returns from Tommy John surgery. And outfielder Victor Robles broke out in his U.S. debut, showing five-tool potential as an 18-year- old. 更進一步看農場系統裡還有2012年第一指名右投Lucas Giolito ，TJ術後不斷進步也被培養為最好的投手新秀之一；同為TJ過的右投Erick Fedde 則是2014年第一指名，職業debut表現不錯。外野手Victor Robles首度於北美出賽也技驚四座，才18歲就展現five-tool的潛力。 The Nationals system has been top-heavy in recent years, but a greater depth began to show in 2015. While the big league team may have disappointed, the player-development team, led by assistant general manager Doug Harris, farm director Mark Scialabba and scouting director Kris Kline, has the organization well positioned for the future. 國民農場系統近幾年來頭重腳輕，但今年深度開始浮現。就算國民本身表現糟糕，由 GM特助Doug Harris 、農場主任Mark Scialabba與球探部主任Kris Kline率領的球員培養團隊也已幫球隊打穩未來的基礎。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 1.34.47.100 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Nationals/M.1447549114.A.9DB.html
